About Me

Ocean Street Quick Bio
Ocean Street’s “melodic collision of Southern-Soul and Songwiter-Rock” has seen radio success at the College Radio Level as well as in the AAA Commercial Format. Thus far, the band has seen action on over 200 college stations and on over 25 Commercial Radio stations around the country. All the while, Ocean Street has built grassroots support with its Waterfront 2007 Tour, hitting beach bars, college towns, and everything in between. The band was hand-selected by Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell to play a Conservation Fundraiser this fall at his ranch near Macon, GA. In addition to the radio and touring efforts, the band’s music has been licensed for use on six MTV shows while Ocean Street’s lead single, “Till I’m Gone” has been featured on a AAA Sampler CD alongside the iconic Paul McCartney and Marc Cohn and the recently hot Josh Ritter and KT Tunstall.
Quotes About Ocean Street
"'Till I'm Gone' is a hit. You know it the first time you hear it. Then you prove yourself right every time after that." ~ Michelle Berlin, Cherry Lane Publishing.
"When I play 'One Horse Town' for folks on Music Row, you'd think they just heard the intro to 'Stairway…' for the first time." ~ Platinum Producer, Michael Knox.
“The minute I put this disc in I was whisked away to the college radio years. An indie band with something to say in every song talking about how the world has gotten worse though it could get better.” ~ Rev MC, Tollbooth Magazine
“A clear and immediate identification with the feelings of others – A spiritual empathy …to write what we feel but cannot put into words ourselves. Add to that the ability to put these hard-driving lyrics into a musical format that hits our emotional depths deeper than even our own friendships can.” ~ Eartaste Webzine
“The thirteen tunes on Ocean Street’s debut are über catchy and provide a vivid musical canvas for Kropf’s blue-eyed soul while Kovaly’s piano work echoes the honky-tonk virtuosity of Chuck Leavell.” ~ Matt Wake, Upstate Today Newspaper
“Every once in a while, a band comes along with the style and comfort to fit all tastes like a pair of worn-in Rainbows. Ocean Street merges starter band charm with crowd-pleasing songs.” ~ Natalie Custodio, FSView
