About Me

The Open Space Project is a five-piece band that lays down high energy rock, jazz, and funk-oriented grooves. Playing mostly instrumental music, the Open Space Project explores a vast array of styles and soundscapes in an original mixture of their own design. OSP's philosophy is to take a high-energy, dynamic approach to music that facilitates collective creativity, freedom of expression, and a soulful interaction with the audience. The band was formed in 2004 with past members of Grasshoppers and Big Loco, spanning many years of musical experience. They are also known to welcome many of the bay area's best musicians to sit in on their groundbreaking performances. The Open Space Project is now bursting onto the jamband scene, spreading their energy and vibe amongst music lovers in the greater SF Bay Area.
