Zach Dismer makes his debut with a weekly Saturday post on what’s happening in Coastal Georgia. Welcome Zach!
Saint Simons is well-known for its picturesque beaches, its wild, wondrous oaks, and overall scenic allure; however, it will soon be acknowledged for another feature- as the birthplace of Solid Gold Thunder. A sextet producing catchy, radio-friendly songs, Solid Gold Thunder’s eclectic sound came to local attention in 2011. The group’s musical style encompasses many genres, including pop, indie, and rock, but also includes elements of hip-hop and funk. The collaborative effort, as bassist Jet Turner states, “is a revival of rock and roll. It’s a movement that promotes letting loose and feeling good.” It is this wide-ranging sound that has escalated Thunder’s recognition beyond just fans. The group was selected from a field of 2,000 entrants to participate in Sony Record’s Sound and Image Showcase in the Winter of 2012 and went on to perform in New York City before corporate producers of Will Smith and Biz Markie. The band was also invited to perform at the Big Ticket Event this past December in Jacksonville, Florida with bands such as Fun, Of Monsters and Men, and Silversun Pickups. Needless to say, the group’s efforts have not gone unrecognized and a golden future awaits these young musicians.
