Thogmartin on Vocals

Last night at the Wormhole Bar, Savannah was introduced to not only a relatively obscure genre of music, but a whole new approach to creating it.

Everything about Ohio based band Papadosio is strange and intriguing. From their name to their sounds, this group approaches music from an entirely different avenue. Self described as a jam band, they have “[...] added electronica and applied it to rock and roll.” Tony Thogmartin (guitar, keys and vox) told me that there has to be an element of honesty in music. He said that, “We write music we feel no matter what it is,” and that they, “Don’t change the style of music to cater to what the audience wants.” Papadosio is all about their own auditory journey and self discovery.

It’s not common that a large act plays in a small venue, especially in Savannah. However, 2010 is looking up! This Tuesday, January 12^th, legendary underground electronica artist RJD2 is playing downtown at Live Wire Music Hall. RJ, as he refers to himself, hails from Philly and has made a name for himself remixing popular hip-hop songs.

Unlike the majority of today’s DJs, RJ strays from the simple track mash-ups and creates beats entirely unique and signature to his style. So if you want to experience a performance on the cutting edge of today’s music industry, check out RJD2 at Live Wire on Tuesday night at 10pm.

Does Christmas shopping make you anxious? Have all those parties and goodies at the office caused you to put on a few extra unwelcomed pounds? Is there no time left in your busy day to exercise? Does having all those family members gathered together under one roof cause added stress in your already hectic life?

Then it’s time to get away from it all and treat yourself to the gift of health this holiday season! Simply book a 3 Day Getaway or 1 Day Pass to one of the “Top 5 US Health Spas,” the Hilton Head Health in Shipyard Plantation. The island is only a short 30-minute drive from “bridge to bridge.” From the minute you set foot in the facility, you feel like you’ve been transported to a special oasis designed to help you re-focus your priorities and re-energize your life.
