soulgrassfolkrebellion
Bio / Background
oso rey is soulgrassfolkrebellion. Not just the music, but the life:
born the grandson of a church-tent-revival singer, and into a family of musicians, teachers, and preachers. Raised with a deep love of art, music, and literature, oso rey has spent the last ten years cultivating a sound that is all his own.
“Oso Rey is that voice and has this sound for this time. He has a mix of all that was before (James) Taylor and all that has come after. His music is blues, rock, jazz, contempoary, bluegrass, funk and classical, which makes it distinctly folk music of the 21st century.”
-Steven Sabel, Redlands Daily Facts
