In what promises to be the most significant development in Greenville’s music scene since the Peace Center’s opening in 1990, the performing arts center has announced a $36 million renovation project that, among other things, will add two new music venues.

Dubbed A Music Project, the renovations are part of the Peace Center’s strategic plan to create an integrated, 10-venue arts and entertainment campus by or before 2030. Work is expected to begin in February 2023 and be completed by late 2024.

Plans are expected to go before the city’s design review board in October. Of the project’s budgeted $36 million cost, about $20 million will be drawn from the center’s cash reserves and income pledged for the next few years of operations. A further $10 million is expected to come from philanthropic gifts with the remainder coming from tax credits.


AMP will include the following:

The Mockingbird — This will be a listening room located in the historic Gullick and Markley buildings on South Main Street adjacent to the Gunter Theatre. Patterned after Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Cafe, the venue will feature a casual, lounge-like setting.

Coach Music Factory — The Coach Factory, which currently houses Larkin’s on the River and which announced plans in March to move to E. Broad Street near Camperdown Plaza, will be converted into a three-level, standing room live music club. Plans envision a wide variety of local and national musical genres like indie rock, hip hop, country, jam bands, Americana and others.

Artist dorms — Located directly above The Mockingbird, a three-bedroom suite will provide artists a bit of respite and privacy where they can take a break from the road before or after a gig.

The Studio — Adjacent to the artist dorms, a modern, professional recording studio will be managed by the Peace Center and provide artists access to high quality recording, mixing, editing and related audio services.

Wyche landscape design — Significant landscape improvements are planned for the outside areas surrounding the Wyche outdoor events space. The vision is to more fully integrate the space with the overall look and feel of the adjacent Falls Park.
