One Side Later

Bio:

"The first band of the weekend that truly impressed me. Solid set of blues-heavy rock and roll. The tones thick and heavy, especially the bass guitar. I hadn’t heard this sort of low-end thunder yet at Springfest and it was a nice midday surprise from a group I had never heard before. I highly recommend checking out One Side Later. I know I’ll be seeing them again as soon as I get a chance."
-Greg Molitor,

“The most fun and entertaining blues rock I have seen in Indy. They believe in the music and are true to what they play.”
-Governor Davis,
Governor Davis and the Blues Ambassadors

KEEPING THE GROOVE
One Side Later is a jam band dedicated to creating and performing quality music. Staying true to American roots, OSL delivers a unique sound that leaves their audience wanting more.

BRYCE ROBERTSON - GUITAR
For us music is not a hobby that we just do on the weekends. Music is our lifestyle. I believe that the most important step to being a great musician is learning how to listen. Instead of just listening to the vocals or the guitar solo, I try to listen to music as a whole. I am not only interested in how music is played but the feeling and consciousness of the musicians when performing. When performing I try to make the audience feel every note that I squeeze off my fretboard while complementing the other musicians. That way the listener hears One Side Later as ONE.

JON MCKINNEY – VOCALS/BASS
“When I look back on the past 8 years, it is hard to believe we’ve played more than 300 shows. When the band started in ‘02, I had no idea we would become so busy. Busy is good - I am having the time of my life and always eager to play the next show.”

STUART COTTON – PERCUSSION
“Every show is a learning experience. Within our shows, we let the music take us to new places rather than trying to control it the whole time. It’s a very freeing experience to completely let go of thought and still be able to remain musically connected with the other two guys.”
