About Hope Women's Center:
Hope Women's Center began in 1990 as Tri-County Pregnancy Center(TCPC). The location was near the boundaries of the Greenville, Pickens and Anderson county lines. The goal was to reach the women in those counties who had no other place to go to receive help for their crisis pregnancies. TCPC's first location was on Hwy 123 in the building with Good News Travel Agency. The center had one office that doubled as a counseling room; one main counseling room and one bathroom. Those little rooms were always busy meeting the needs of women who saw the sign and heard that there were people who cared for them. As the center grew and began meeting needs of women mostly from the Pickens County area, it moved further down Hwy 123 to Cross Creek Plaza and built a facility next door to Christian Supply Bookstore, where it stayed for two years. The facility was very adequate and seemed to be in a great location. Christian Supply became Crossway Bookstore and needed more room and TCPC's lease ran out. It was then, in 1993, that the house which was once the parsonage for Arial Baptist Church, was put on the market and TCPC found a new and permanent home! This new home is a blessing to meet the needs of the ministry and the needs of the community. In 1997 the Board of Directors and staff of TCPC decided that the name "Hope Women's Center" more properly spoke of the ministry's desire to reach out to the community and the women in need. Since its birth in 1990 the pregnancy center has ministered to several thousand women and celebrated the birth of numerous babies. Hope Women's Center has also seen many souls brought into the Kingdom of Christ. All to the glory of God.

DownloadThriving Country Music Band from Upstate South Carolina. Playing all your country music favorites.
David Locke is a singer songwriter from Greenville, SC who pours his heart and soul into every song
Dynamic band consisting of four very talented musicians from Anderson, SC. Covering many genres and styles of music, this band is upbeat and professional.
No Speed Limit, is a 6 piece group of veteran musicians based in Upstate South Carolina.
Proudly hailing from the musically rich foothills of Cleveland County (Shelby, NC), Dirty Grass Soul has been entertaining audiences across the Carolinas and beyond since their formation in 2011. With a sound that draws much influence from traditional music of the North Carolina foothills, Dirty Grass Soul manages to bring a new, refreshed, and re-energized sound to their music that falls somewhere between country, bluegrass, and southern rock & roll reminiscent of acts like The Charlie Daniels Band and The Marshall Tucker Band. Rather than simply relying on heavy guitar leads, Dirty Grass Soul offers instrumentation that mixes in a heavy dose of fiddle, pedal steel guitar, and banjo in addition to the guitar. DGS is lead by founding members Kevin Dedmon (Fiddle, Vocals, Guitar) and Lance Watson (Bass, Mandolin). They are joined by Tommy Smith (Electric Guitar), Dedmon's brother Kris Dedmon (Banjo), Glenn Miller (Pedal Steel Guitar), and Jared Miller (Vocals & Percussion).
After touring the Carolina's behind their self-released albums "The Long Way" and "New Day of Work" as well as performing shows alongside many premier national acts, Dirty Grass Soul has earned a reputation as one of the southeast's emerging Southern Rock/Alt. Country bands. Their newest project "Soul'd Out: Life from The Don Gibson Theatre" is due out in May 2022 and will be the band's first double-live album!
Whether it is the hint of bluegrass, outlaw country, or rock & roll you hear in each song, their sound is uniquely Dirty Grass Soul. From Dedmon's down home/working class lyrics to the blazing instrumental breaks, Dirty Grass Soul is sure to offer a little something for everyone. Be sure to visit www.DGSoul.com & follow or “like” Dirty Grass Soul on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates about the happenings of the band.
