This post is long past due (largely because this whole website is the same), but one of the occupations I'm most proud of and excited about lately is Owoso, my latest official musical pursuit.
Though our name really says it all, a further explanation of our sound might run like so: "John Coltrane tries to convince the world that he's actually Pete Seeger & Joni Mitchell's lovechild (named Paul Simon), and the only one who sees through it is Isaac Brock, who joins forces with Sufjan Stevens to expose Coltrane's ruse." An alternate explanation might read: "Atypical folk with progressive rock and jazz influences."
The band is, at its core, comprised of myself and Jon "Goldman Sax" Driver. But for all intents and purposes, Owoso also includes Derrick Faith and Matthew Seelye (of Two Sly Deuce renown), and Ethan Evans, trombone extraordinaire. These men man anything, everything, and more, respectively.
Telling you about the band doesn't acquaint you with our sound. To do that, I'll transcribe, best I can, the first track from our debut, self-titled EP (or, if you're auditorily inclined, you can listen here):
