This is according to attendee Adam Glockler,\u00a0who witnessed\u00a0Bill\u2019s moment of altruism and snapped the above photo. Bill Murray is a resident of Charleston, and is known to show up around town, snapping selfies with fans, and being the town\u2019s most famous, and most friendly resident.<\/p>\n<p>Bill Murray first met The SteelDrivers in 2010 when he played the part of a funeral parlor owner in the movie\u00a0<em>Get Low<\/em>, starring Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek. The SteelDrivers contributed heavily to the movie\u2019s soundtrack, and that\u2019s where Murray\u2019s fandom was struck.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when it feels like famous people are in the news for all the wrong reasons, it\u2019s good to see a story of one who understands the importance of people, community, and music.<\/p>\n<p>Frontman Gary Nichols\u00a0recently left\u00a0the SteelDrivers, with Adam Wakefield of\u00a0<em>The Voice<\/em>\u00a0fame filling in on certain dates.
