Love this guy!

We asked Original to play some blues with Steely Dan stuff and everyone loved the performance and the musician. Give him a good look for your next event.

Love OJ!

OJ just came and performed at our 4th of July bbq and it was amazing! The perfect addition to a lovely afternoon bbq. He sang the best Blues / Motown and Reggae and by the end of the night he was part of the family. The sweetest person and just a delight to listen to. OJ is very reliable and I would recommend him for any event!
