St. Paul and The Broken Bones come back to the Peace Center campus — this time on their feet

The soul band last played Greenville at the Peace Center in 2023. On Friday, April 16, it returns next door at the new Coach Music Factory.

In May 2023, St. Paul and The Broken Bones played the Peace Center. When the band comes back to Greenville next spring, it will be playing on the same campus — just a few steps over, in a room that did not exist the last time it was in town.

St. Paul and The Broken Bones play Coach Music Factory in Greenville on Friday, April 16, 2027, at 7pm, with The Point. opening. The show was announced on October 28; check the Peace Center for tickets.

The room is a big part of the story. Coach Music Factory opened in February 2026 as part of the Peace Center's AMP expansion, a standing-room music club on Graham Plaza between the Peace Concert Hall and the Gunter Theatre, according to the Peace Center and the Post and Courier. It holds about 1,100 across three levels with a flat floor, and it lives inside the renovated Roe Coach Factory, a building that opened as a carriage factory in 1857, per SCBIZ. Its first show, G. Love & Special Sauce on February 7, sold out, FOX Carolina reported.

That means a band that last played Greenville to a seated hall now gets a floor to fill. For a group whose records lean on soul and R&B, that is a meaningful change. The 2023 show was a concert. This one has room to be a party.

The band has been busy since that last visit. In October 2025, it released a self-titled album, its sixth, on its own label, Oasis Pizza Records, as mxdwn reported when it was announced alongside the single "Sitting in the Corner." Another single, "Fall Moon," came out ahead of it, and mxdwn reviewed the album at the end of that month. This fall, the band followed it with *Proxy*, a four-song EP released in September, per BroadwayWorld.

So the Greenville set in April will have plenty that local fans have not heard live — an entire album and an EP's worth of songs since the Peace Center night.

The practical part: it is a Friday with a 7pm start, the kind of slot that lets you grab dinner downtown first and still make the opener. With a standing room of about 1,100, it is a bigger crowd than a club and a closer one than a hall, and the early sold-out opening at Coach Music Factory is a reminder that this new room can go fast.

Nearly four years is a long gap for a band that has played Greenville before. This time, it gets to come back to a brand-new room right next door to the old one.
