This band chose the perfect name—they’re truly smokin’ good. Every musician and vocalist is incredibly talented, and together they sound amazing. You won’t be disappointed, so if you get the chance, be sure to catch one of their shows!

November 9, 2025Rockin' beat
Listened to Smokin' Okatillos at Coomber Oceanside, a great little spot downtown, for wine and music. Excellent wine, great covers, energy; awesome drummer and lead guitar, just wanted to hear more of the voices over the 4 guitars. Mix drowned out most vocals, which were key to identifying some of the songs. Enjoyed the experience, but they need an audio engineer!
