ST. THOMAS — Their performance during the St. Thomas Carnival Village last week was so laced with energy that one could have mistaken the location for an effort before one of the world’s bigger stages, but it was not. It was in little St. Thomas, almost an unrecognizable dot on the world’s map, but R. City’s Theron and Timothy Thomas gave it their all — they even surprised the home crowd by bringing Keri Hilson on stage to perform two of her big hits — \u00a0because to them, St. Thomas will always be home.<\/p>\n
Every song was sang with passion. The duo worked the stage to ensure fans on all sides were tended to as they performed hit and after hit, and culminated the show with their biggest title so far: Locked Away. For that track, Timothy, after asking the crowd if they’d hold him up if he decided to let himself fall off the stage, took the plunge and was secured by scores of screaming fans, who carried him a distance and then back to the stage.<\/p>\n
Following the performance, Timothy told The Consortium that although they bring energy to every performance, the Carnival Village got a special treat because “home will always be home.” Timothy spoke briefly spoke of humble beginnings and on numerous occasions mentioned his love for the territory in which he was raised, stating that their success could never grow so big that they would forget where they came from.<\/p>\n
