Bio
My name is Oscar, I'm 23 and I'm kinda folky. Been playing live since I was 15 and have just finished my first proper album. I play my own stuff solo but I sometimes play guitar with ..Rosewood Green.., double bass with ..Freddie Keen.. and banjo for anyone who will have me. I also work as a sound engineer at ..Green Note.., and opperate an affordable recording studio in Muswell Hill called ..Cainer Can Studios... I used to run ..Oscar's Academy.., my own event that Time Out called "one of the most important new acoustic nights in London" but I gave that up to follow my dreams... .... P.S. If anyone would like a copy of my album, it is available for £5 from me at gigs or send me your address and I'll post you one for free. In return, send me something that will interest me. It could be money, it could be something that inspires you, something artistic that you did, an amazing book, an amazing album, whatever - so long as it's an enriching surprise. I think that's much more interesting than naming a price. .... .. .. .. ..Type in your e-mail and I'll send you lovingly crafted messages of wholesome goodness, telling you all about my musical adventures. How exciting!.. .. .. ...... ...... .. .. ....Hosting by YMLP.com.... .. .. .. .. ..
Members
Me, sometimes my friends at ..Rosewood Green.. or ..The Groanbox Boys.., sometimes ..Courtenay Purcell.. and anyone else I can get to join the folk side... ..
Influences
Mainly older folky stuff. Love my bluegrass and my country too. .... Three chords and the truth.
Sounds Like
A thief and an impostor. .. .. People have said: ..John Martyn.., ..Jackson Browne.., ..Nick Drake.. but that's clearly mental..... .. Here's a video of me! It was taken at the last ever ..Oscar's Academy.. at ..Viva Viva.. by the wonderful ..Tim Ellis.., New York's finest acoustical treasure!........ .. .. .. ........ Here's a little video of the studio I've set up - for more details see ..Cainer Can Studios.. in my top friends..... .. .. .. .. .. .... This is the brilliant ..Freddie Keen.. plus me on double bass. .... .. .. .. .. ..
