Bio
Campfire OK is a band of five unique musicians from different environments and musical backgrounds, which is strikingly evident in the sounds they create. What's common about the musicians is that they've all either studied music for extended periods of time, or have been on stage long enough to have an honorary Ph.D. Curiously, not one of the members in Campfire OK plays the instrument they originally studied.
Part of the band is from South Africa while others come from the Southwest and the Northwest. They are called by their eccentric monikers (Goodweather, Hanigan), speak in a jargon of their own, and offer a fresh perspective to the time-honored craft of pop music. In a story too long to mention, this group of five met in the drizzly city of Seattle, Washington.
Campfire OK might be classified to some as indie-rock, Americana, or folk due to their use of brass, piano, banjo, and acoustic guitar, but they'd prefer not to be trapped in any box. The result is a elegant blend of piano and drum driven grooves with touches of jazz in counterpoint to perceptive vocal and melodic stylings.
