Oxymorons

About Me

The Oxymorons take the stage with a mix of the hottest new songs, the best of the old, and their award-winning originals, giving audiences a night of hip-shaking New Orleans funk, soulful blues, Americana roots, classic rock, and cutting-edge guitar driven songs to entertain like no other.

Combining seasoned musicianship and soaring vocals, this seriously-fun eight-piece band has been playing local venues for the past 14 years including the Black Cat, State Theatre, Velvet Lounge, Lewie's, and the legendary Bayou. They've gigged at Adams Morgan Day, the Great Falls Summer Concert Series, Inaugural Balls, and dozens of benefits, weddings, and private parties.

The Oxymorons are two bands in one - capable of reeling off favorite party tunes spanning three decades and well-crafted originals in the rock, funk and blues veins. Songs from their two original CDs have received airplay on local radio stations and were selected for two Washington Area Music Association local music CDs.

Their funkily eclectic cover list includes songs by the Neville Brothers, John Hiatt, Elvis Costello, the Beatles, Macy Gray, Fiona Apple, the Pretenders, Foo Fighters, Al Green, and Bruce Springsteen. With male and female vocals, two guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, congas, and blues harp, the Morons have the versatility to please any crowd.
