This annual festival in Charleston, SC celebrates
the life of the late Bert Griggs.
A huge fan of live music, he turned his passion into a well-received apparel and accessories company, Drifter Merch, that was inspired by his favorite bands. In addition to Bert’s passion for designing and creating music-inspired and custom goods, Bert was an amazing father, husband, son, brother, and friend. Beyond his creative talents, Bert possessed an innate ability to make everyone that he met feel like they were the most important person in the room. He never met a stranger, always treating everyone as if they were best friends. He had the sweetest soul and a tender heart that loved with profound depth and sincerity. He had the sweetest soul and a tender heart that loved hard and deeply. Bert had a unique sense of humor with an infectious laugh and smile that could light up the darkest room. Bert's absence is keenly felt by all who had the privilege of crossing paths with him.
