THE ACOUSTIC OOSIK

A GENUINELY ORIGINAL MUSIC

EXPERIENCE

 

  • The Acoustic Oosik is an ongoing project. When possible the band will draw in incredible musicians that have the urge to rock. The main member is Ben Balivet. The other members fluctuate daily, almost hour. Members include (from time to time) Jason Agre, Kade Bissel , Bruno Zinno (drummers)  Ryan Conlon (on bass),  Irik Clawsen (on hand drums), and Stuart Riekie (on guitar).  Playing at the drop of a hat is always on the roster.... So many gigs so little time.
