Ozzie

From 1975 -1979 a local band by the name of Ozzie, played the club circuit in Southeast Michigan. They entertained at clubs such as Cavi’s Den, The Gatsby, Imperial Lanes, Hollywood Lanes, Pampa Lanes, The Rusty Nail, BJ’s, Blue Banjo, Harper House, Wishing Well, Topsail, The Odyssey, Carmen’s East and South. They also performed at private parties, Hall parties and outdoor events as Chip Mann’s Fantasy Festival which featured Blackfoot.

Four out of five original members went on to entertaining audiences 100 to 10,000 from New York to Key West to California, in such venues as Cobo Hall in Detroit to El Macombo in Las Vegas. Over the years Steve White, David Tschirhart, Art Fraylick and Dave Kmita have performed with some of the best names in Classic Rock and Motown. The Contours and Co., Johnny Lyles Jr. from the The Coasters, Rich Cole from the Romantics, Pat Hardwood from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Wayne Barax from Rare Earth and Mike Pinera from Blues Image, Iron Butterfly and Alice Cooper to state a few.

Now after 30 years they decided to once again regain their status as one of the area’s top draw bands. With their experience and the addition of new sound technology they have created a full band sound at a low volume environment. You’ll be able to experience 4 part harmony, horn arrangements, keyboards, percussion, guitars, bass and drums and still have a conversation with the person next to you.. All of this sound from just 4 guys on stage.
