There's a constant heartbeat in our city's nightlife. On any given evening, you can catch a free poetry show, a new art exhibit or a stage production - all to the backdrop of music, blaring from energetic bands. Karaoke is another event that always has had its finger on the pulse of Charleston. All across the Lowcountry, people are heading to bars and restaurants to lose their inhibitions and sing their hearts out. There's a chance to do karaoke every night of the week. If you haven't experienced it, here's a peek at what you've been missing.

Those karaoke clubs on the list who don't have BMI and ASCAP licenses will soon have to get one I am sure.

The unfortunate loss of video poker in 2000 did much damage to live music entertainment in Charleston and the rest of South Carolina. Instead of bands and musicians being hired and put on the club's calendars and growing musically and becoming more talented, djs with computers and discs now play karaoke. Many bands disbanded after 2000 as it became unaffordable to hire them anymore.
