Mount Pleasant Magazine May/June 2018

40 www.MountPleasantMagazine.com | www.ILoveMountPleasant.com | www.BestOfMP.com feature With a newfound appreciation and understanding for the behind-the-scenes action, Brisacher started Big Hair Productions in 2008, coinciding with the introduction of The Dubplates, a high-energy, fully instrumental band delivering the whole package for those looking to book with Big Hair Productions. Events such as the Skinful Halloween house parties originally started at Dr. Brian King’s house eventually grew into festivals with Flava Flav, Mix Master Mike and more for crowds of over 5,000 people. The crazy costume party eventually ended in 2014, after 13 years of Halloween mayhem. In 2017, The Dubplates released their first full-length studio album, “Box Full of Steel,” which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Reggae charts. Happening Now A devoted husband and father, Brisacher still somehow has time to put on major events such as The Marley Cup, held March 31 at MUSC Health Stadium. After making fast friends with Ky-Mani Marley, son of the late Bob Marley, at an event in the Outer Banks, Brisacher learned about the soccer team the Reggae legend’s son had recently purchased in his hometown of Falmouth, Jamaica. “I had the idea to combine a music festival with a soccer game, pitched the idea to Eric Bowman and Andre Bell of the Charleston Battery, and, with my partner Brady Waggoner, The Marley Cup brand was born. After Thanksgiving, we went down to Jamaica to meet Ky-Mani and his team, Falmouth United, and from there the rest is history,” he said. On March 31, I joined hundreds to celebrate a unique Charleston-area happening. With an exciting game between Falmouth United and a special Charleston All- Star team, great vendors and live music from Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys, King Yellowman, The Dubplates – and of course, Ky-Mani Marley – I can personally say this was truly a gift back to the Charleston community. 642 Coleman Boulevard • Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 843.856.9277 www.babybloomershome.com just add water!
