About Me

The Cave owner Mr. Mouse says: "Oscar Begat is a folksy pop band with lush harmonies, rich violin solos and melodic guitar." Blogger Joe Future says it's "part Dave Matthews, part singer/songwriter, and part folk/blues ... Nick Cave meets Phish ... (Smalltalk is) a lullaby worthy of Bjork." And Grayson Currin, music editor at The Independent, says "Oscar Begat swings its folk rock between a G.Love-like vivacity and a Cat Stevens-like passion. These textures come from violin (and) co-ed harmonies, and the words come with youthful yearning." We hope you like what you hear.
