the Oxy Morons String Band Acoustic Band from Birmingham, AL

Music for All Occasions: house parties, weddings, divorces, dog dippings, sheep shearings, child de-lousings. The Oxy Morons are an acoustic quartet that play an eclectic mix of music - from almost bluegrass to string-band R&B. We specialize in tunes you've never heard and some dance-along classics (for the third set survivors). Instruments include acoustic guitars, bass, mandolin, kazoogle, dobro, banjo, blues harp, steel and banjo ukuleles, and fiddle. Three part harmony may be their saving grace. The Morons are a quartet of old AM radio rockers that turned to folk-ish ways when pop-rock turned to polyester in the 80's. They include a reformed garage band rocker (Joe) on guitars and dobro, a pre-folk country music revivalist (Jamie) on harp and ukeleles, a late blooming folk-rocker (Stephen) playing rhythm on just about anything, and a classical violinist (Roger) with a serious fiddling habit. "Stephen Guesman,Joe Casey and Jamie Finley put the "F" in FUN, and delight in entertaining the audience as well as each other. Expect to be treated to a bugle Kazoo solo, as well as many other delightful and bizarre bits of stuff & nonsense! A great alternative ...so come and let your hair down with these wild & crazy guys!" ..Merle Dollar from the Local Color Cafe, Springville, Al.
