Two bands plus a fusion of different musical genres equals one amazing show, with proof in the form of BoomBox and Zach Deputy performing tonight at the Georgia Theatre.

Composed of producer/DJ Russ Randolph and singer/songwriter/guitarist Zion Godchaux, BoomBox hails from Muscle Shoals, Ala. The experiemental duo made its debut in 2005 with the album “Visions of Backseat.”

“A lot of kids go to shows and just hear beats for hours,” said Godchaux. “We want concert-goers to experience songs – not just the same beats for three or four hours.”

As a fusion of rock and roll, psychedelic and house music, the group draws inspiration from artists ranging all the way from electronic dance musicians to The Grateful Dead.

“Electronic dance music has had an influence,” said Randolph.

Godchaux was less specific in his requirements for inspiration and influences on his own music.

“Really any type of music (is an influence) as long as it is good,” he said.

The group came up with its name after an inspirational show in Nevada – the name striking them out of the blue while on a plane ride home.

“We had an amazing experience in Nevada and on the plane home, [the name] revealed itself,” said Godchaux. “It is the only name that we ever thought of and it just made sense.”

The group hopes tonight’s concert will serve to both entertain and uplift all those in attendance.

“We want to give them the experience they showed up for,” said Godchaux. “It’s about giving the audience what they need at that particular time – we just want students to come and get down and make them feel better for a second, giving positive energy to someone else.”

Continuing the eclectic nature of the night is fellow performer Zach Deputy, returning from his September 2007 Northeast tour.

“Touring is awesome because it allows you to be a lot more free,” he said. “It is definitely better than the studio, where you are creating moments. When you’re playing live shows, you are living right there in the moment.”

Also blending a myriad different styles, Deputy’s blues and soul music adds a dash of calypso and reggae for an eclectic sound.

A native of South Carolina with family roots in the Caribbean, Deputy credits the tropical surroundings of his upbringing and old-school music preferences as his main inspirations.

“Being close to the beach has had an influence,” he said, but also credits artists such as Ray Charles, James Brown and Michael Jackson and “a whole bunch of dorky jazz guys that no one probably knows.”

Deputy originally began touring in his 20′s before returning to Savannah to develop himself as a solo artist.

Realizing the limitations of performing solo, Deputy teamed up with best friend Paul Kearns.

“Paul and I have been friends for 15 years and then we started playing music together, so it is very special,” he said.

Though Deputy visits all types of cities while touring, he admits he is most fond of playing in college towns with audiences close to his own age.

“I like the college crowd because I feel like I am in the same time period with people that experienced the same things as me,” said Deputy. “The audience can expect a high-energy show because I like to make music that doesn’t only make people dance, but makes their skin tingle.”
