Bio
Founded by Chris Hall, a veteran of several bands spanning genres as diverse as Gangsta Rap to Electronica to Rockabilly and back again, the sound of Oak Street Blues is the true definition of what makes a man crazy about women, heartbreak, and '55 Buicks. Once he was satisfied with the direction of the music, he enlisted two of his friends to join the ranks; Jon Meier on Bass, and James Vela on keyboards. To complete the band, an ad calling for a drummer was answered by Alejandra Arellano.
The sound is energetic, lively, and unpredictable. Live shows have proven that any audience can immediately become immersed with the sounds of an alternative cover of "I Think We're Alone Now", as well as a syrupy sweet, country-tinged "Sugartown" (complete with a Kazoo-along), mixed with all original songs about pumpkins, and longing for a night lost in an unrequited love's eyes.
