Beautifully blending the sounds and rhythms of their native Greek culture with the warm, inviting romance of the classical Spanish guitar, brothers Thano and Demitri Sahnas have created a magical and intimate Mediterranean style that perfectly complements the powerful jazz-fusion of their popular Phoenix based band Turning Point. Sahnas—as the brothers are collectively known—has enthralled thousands of people at clubs and arts and crafts festivals throughout the Southwest with their unique hybrid sound.
When they’re not touring as two-fifths of Turning Point, the brothers are together, playing the music they love in the nylon string based style they first discovered at 11 years old. In 2005, Moondo Records released their first two independent albums, From Mykonos to Madrid (a mix of covers and originals that captured their sensual Mediterranean spirit) and Odyssey, which urged listeners to “explore their passion.” Romanza, their perfectly titled third release, takes this concept to even deeper places in the heart, finding the true emotional core of some of the world’s best loved pop songs.
Many of Sahnas’ fans may wonder how two Greek brothers who grew up playing traditional Greek instruments developed such an affinity for Spanish music. “When our fathers parents came over from Greece, they settled in Arizona, but many of our mom’s relatives lived south of the Border,” says Demitri. “We spent a lot of time there, and our uncles would teach us Latin rhythms and flamenco music. Our album Odyssey is an exploration of how all of these wonderful influences blend together.”
The music of Turning Point and Sahnas as a Spanish Guitar Duo appeals to fans of many of the top rock, R&B and smooth jazz artists they have opened for, from Michael McDonald to Little Feat, chill performer Praful, acid jazzers Down To the Bone and The Rippingtons. Over the years, they’ve also shared stages with Craig Chaquico, Otmar Liebert, Mark Antoine, The Commodores, James Brown, Peter White, Rick Braun, Jesse Cook, Bobby Caldwell, Boney James, George Benson, Tower of Power, Gato Barbieri, Esteban, and many more.
“Our work as a duo doesn’t compete with Turning Point,” says Demitri, “because they really work hand in hand. The styles of music really do complement each other, and Sahnas is simply an extension of what we do artistically. We love the fact that we have an opportunity to express ourselves in two different ways, and that fans of instrumental music are very receptive to both. That’s where the true passion and intensity of the music lies for us, in the exciting interactions we have with the audience.”
For Thano and Demitri their mission is simple, play music that touches the heart and perform it with passion.
New Kid In Town
Sahnas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Great expectations, ev'rybody's watching you.
People you meet, they all seem to know you.
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new.
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town.
Ev'rybody loves you, so don't let them down.
You look in her eyes; the music begins to play.
But after a while you're looking the other way.
It's those restless hearts that never mend.
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town.
Will she still love you when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her,
but night after night you're willing to hold her, just hold her.
Tears on your shoulder.
There's talk on the street; it's there to remind you
that it doesn't really matter which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you.
They will never forget you till somebody new comes along.
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town.
Ev'rybody loves him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around. Oh, my, my.
There's a new kid in town, just another new kid in town.
Ooh, hoo. Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town.
Ooh, hoo. Ev'rybody's walking like the new kid in town.
There's a new kid in town. I don't want to hear it.
There's a new kid in town. I don't want to hear it.
There's a new kid in town. There's a new kid in town.
There's a new kid in town. There's a new kid in town.
There's a new kid in town. There's a new kid in town.
Sahnas's song "New Kid in Town" is about the struggles that come with being the new guy in town. The lyrics begin with the most common issue that new people experience, feeling like you're being watched and having a lot of expectations to meet. Everyone seems to know you, yet they still treat you like you're something new. The chorus, which repeats twice in the song, talks about a character named Johnny who just got into town, and everyone is interested in him, so he should not disappoint them. The song shifts gears in the second verse, as Johnny develops a romantic relationship with a woman whose heart is broken from previous experiences. The bridge begins with reminiscing about what Johnny should have said to the woman he's seeing, but he's always willing to hold her and her tears. The final chorus comes back to the town gossip, with people talking about Johnny as they walk away, and the singer expressing his frustration with everyone discussing the new kid in town.
The song has a lot of depth behind it, as it speaks to everyone who has ever moved to a new town or just into a new school or job. You have to work hard to establish yourself, and that can be daunting. The lyrics show a sense of empathy for those who are trying to fit in, and the hope of forming new connections. The music adds to this, as it is a beautiful and touching tune that complements the lyrics nicely. Overall, the song is a heartfelt depiction of what it feels like to be in a new place and the importance of putting forth the extra effort to really connect with people.
