We want Otan to move into the venue LOL...I'd love to put him on another Acoustic Thursday gig on 6/4 @7pm. Also, we'd like him to do another Happy Hour on 6/19 @ 6pm. - LEFTYS CANDLELIGHT BAR and GRILL
Every once in a while we stumble upon something special, So special that from the second we here one line of one song
we are consumed and want more. Not often does this happen but when it does it is one of the most magical feeling's in
music today. A feeding frenzy of the mind and listening pallet kick's into action like a craving for chocolate it no longer is
a want to listen to music it is a need. I know this for a fact because it recently engaged me when I heard a song from a
great acoustic artist and song writer named Otan Vargas. Like every musician Otan has a story that would intrigue the
deepest skeptics and if you listen closely to his lyrics you may pick up that story as words flow through his mind they are
scratched onto paper through these thought's come his powerful and meaningful lyrics that could have special meaning
to each and everyone of us. - WWW.MOUTH4MUSIC.COM
If you're like us, you can't get enough Otan!
Otan Vargas' beautiful voice and emotive guitar draws you in and hanging on every phrase. He's a special performer, and we are happy to have him back at Lefty's This Friday for our Happy Hour from 6-7:30.

Bio
Otan Vargas is a Filipino who moved to the United States in 2006. Born on October 4, 1984 to Romeo Vargas, a folk singer himself and to Venus Vargas, a businesswoman. He is proud to say that he was born and raised in Tondo, known to be the poorest place in Manila.
His honest music captivated fans from all over the world via the internet, giving testimonials of how its melancholy touched them beautifully.
The high point thus far in his career came on February
14, 2009 at the Borgota Hotel and Casinos Musicbox. As seen in the picture above, his Idol, Aaron Lewis, the vocalist from the band Staind, called him up on stage to perform the song "Its Been Awhile". His rendition warranted a standing ovation from the entire crowd.
Influences include Aaron Lewis of Staind and Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. Though he does not try and duplicate the original artists that he covers, he rather takes their work and makes it his own. He is currently in the middle of a Long Island based run of shows running into late August.
