More than in larger cities, Savannah is a one-on-one town, and I hope those who care about the live music scene will try to get their friends to support the festival in some way. Since most of our venues are relatively small, a few extra listeners can have a huge effect on the vibe at a show.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, in today&#8217;s column, I focus on Oberhofer, the band that will be headlining the opening night, and include a bit of my email correspondence with Brad Oberhofer (the band was in Europe when I needed to speak to him).<\/p>\n<p>A few clips of Oberhofer, and their big
