Balsa Racers are Oscar Laun and anyone who happens by the studio at any given time. The music is an eclectic mix of jazz, rock, pop, blues, and vocal styles. Balsa Racers front man and founder, Oscar Laun, began playing and performing in the early 90's in Dallas-Fort Worth-Denton as the drummer for the group Big Big Drama. After the group disbanded, Oscar took sites on writing and performing his own music. Oscar moved to San Antonio in 2000, started a recording studio ("G.O. Recording Studio"), and also formed the band "Dewey Wins". While working overseas in 2005, Oscar formed Balsa Racers as a vehicle for recording and releasing his music. Balsa Racers music strikes a balance between melodic vocals, stimulating lyrics, and studied instrumental work. Described as a mix between Crowded House, REM, Grateful Dead, and the Police, Balsa Racers work to create catchy and uniquely recognizable songs that resonate with the listener.
