Artist Information

Biography

Emerging out of a lifetime friendship between singer/songwriter Ezra Hamilton and guitarist/songwriter Jon Ricciardi, Open-Air Museum have created an exciting new cross pollination of Alternative Rock and Soul. The formation of the band began in November of 2007 with a series of recording sessions that would eventually lead to the release of a self-produced debut EP in April of 2008 . The release of the "World" EP quickly sparked interest in this band's unique sound and by June the group had developed into a well rehearsed 5 piece band with an accessible blend of catchy vocal harmonies, driving rock melodies, and experimental instrumentation.
