Shop GVL swag with your Christmas cash

Looking to cure your post-holiday blues with a little retail therapy? Luckily for you, our shop is stocked full of GVL-inspired sweatshirts, t-shirts, coffee mugs + more — some are even designed by local creatives.

You can think of that ‘add to cart’ feeling as giving back, too, because a portion of proceeds from swag purchased in our shop goes directly to those local creatives.

It’s okay if Santa missed the mark this year — treat yourself to one of our favorite GVL-inspired products, like this crewneck sweatshirt ($35).

Check out more local items here. Happy shopping, GVL. 🎁

Marcus King: Greenvillian, southern rock + blues band frontman, and muse for artists across the country. We’re loving this painting by the talented Houston, TX portrait artist Tyler Witt Mendez.

Tyler’s painting is inspired by Marcus’ song, “Wildflowers & Wine,” and even features flowers from a shirt he’s worn. 🌹

If you’re still looking for NYE plans, get tickets to The Marcus King Band’s Hometown Throwdown concert at the Peace Center on Thurs., Dec. 30 and Fri., Dec. 31.
