BRENDAN O'HARA

Brendan O'Hara performs with guitar, keyboard, and vocals using live-looping technology to create a sound as modernly unique as it is refreshingly throwback. Often referred to as a “One Man Band”- Brendan beatboxes while strumming his guitar, then plays the piano while creating bass-lines and sound scapes to then layer raw reverberating and delay heavy vocals to realize a sound much bigger than just a singer/songwriter- though the songwriting aims to be strong enough to stand on its own acoustically! A veteran live performer, “B", has been in front of audiences large and small for over a decade honing his blend of roots-rock-hip-hop and post modern soul. A DIY musician in the vein of hardworking indie-artists like Macklemore- Brendan is an unsigned talent that hustles day in and day out to share his music with the most unsuspecting and often pleasantly surprised audiences. B was a regional finalist on the premiere season of X-Factor, has been named Best Artist by Miami New Times and its readers, and has released 5albums on his own- while playing well over 200 shows a year and still finding time to play with his nephews and catch a few rays on the boat. It’s leisure music for the thoughtful. It’s both engaging and longing for escape. Think Bill Withers jamming with Billy Joel, Bob Marly, and the Beastie Boys.
