One World presents Oceanography
September 18 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$5 – $10
$5-10 suggested donation for this touring musician!
Oceanography is the moniker used by singer-songwriter Brian Kelly. With yelping vocals over layers of angular guitar lines and solid drum beats, the songs recall some of the most acclaimed bands, like The Shins, British Sea Power, Tom Petty, and War-era U2. As a claustrophobic melancholy looms just beneath the orderly exterior of the songs and their narrators, one could view them as a collection of Raymond Carver stories, but with a beat you can dance to. Oceanography has performed in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin & Wyoming. https://www.oceanographymusic.com/
