“We are excited to take what we learned at the drive-in this summer and use it to create the best live entertainment venue in South Carolina,” said Adam Epstein, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Innovation Arts & Entertainment. “We have had an overwhelming response from artists that are ready to bring music back to Columbia.”
