Member Since7/21/2005
Band Websitewww.oscarcainer.com
Band MembersMe, sometimes my friends at Rosewood Green or The Groanbox Boys, sometimes Courtenay Purcell and anyone else I can get to join the folk side...
InfluencesMainly older folky stuff. Love my bluegrass and my country too.

Three chords and the truth.
Sounds LikeA 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.

Record LabelWould be nice...

   About Oscar Cainer
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!

A bit of advance notice - MondayMonday proudly presents Rún and Steven Finn and more at The Wilmington Arms, Clerkenwell on Monday 7th December


Rún collect and arrange old folk songs written in the ancient language of Erin. So far, thanks to Nora from Donegal, they have a nice wee collection of well-known ditties and are now adding to their repertoire with some unusual old forgotten songs from the province of Ulster. Rún are five fantastic lassies who perform four-part vocal arrangements of old Gaelic songs like ’An Cailín Rua’ (the red-haired girl), ’Casadh an tSúgain’ (twisting the hayrope) and ’Bo Na Leath Adhairce’ (the one-horned cow). Rún is the Gaelic word for ’secret, wish or love’ (cf. rune). See http://www.myspace.com/runceol ..

Steven Finn’s ears were filled with the music of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Johnny Cash and old time country music. Aged 15 he began teaching himself the guitar, learning songs like Leadbelly’s ‘Bourgeois Blues’ and Charlie Daniels’ ‘The devil went down to Georgia’. On hearing Bob Dylan songs Finn started to write his own words and in doing so found a lifelong passion for Jazz and Folk Blues, a getaway car he could drive.

How are things, Oscar?

Jimbo Quinn recently played me the version of "The Sky Can't Hold Me" that you recorded - it sounded great. You're a good partnership.

Hey there,
Here's one from left field...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible.
Help to raise awareness.
Say have you checked out my web site (http://www.faberoptime.com) recently?
Take care and keep in touch.
Best,
Faber.
