THE BAND APOLLO to perform New Year’s Eve
One of the neat things about this job is the chance to discover new exciting bands. It’s even better when that band is from our own state. Such is the case with a trio of young musicians based in Augusta — The Band Apollo. The group is made up of Jonathan Johnston (lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Benjamin Packard (electric guitar, backing vocals), and Jonathan Truman (drums, percussion, keyboard, synth, backing vocals). They just released an EP of six original songs that could easily be heard on any national station and chart very high, as well. The band will perform New Year’s Eve at Hoxter’s in Hallowell. To that end, Johnston called to give a bit of history of TBA and talk about their upcoming gig.
