About Me
Oren Music....The ever evolving musical influences that have been shaping my artistic speech patterns have brought me to here, this moment in time where music is abundant and fulfilling. Three projects working gives so much diversity to what I am playing so it’s always fun to play and there’s lots of different opportunities to meet, see, and talk to all kinds of people. Let me tell you a little about my projects.The Karma Issue:
This band has been evolving into something larger than the sum of it’s parts as musical excellence and passion are the driving forces behind this group. Groundbreaking originals and great premium choice, grade A, certified crowd pleasing covers by groups such as Sublime, Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Grateful Dead and Bob Marley to name a few, and the list is always growing. The Karma Issue features Oren Polak on guitar, Max Koteen on bass and Joe Nelson on the drums. Come see what The Karma Issue has become and will be.Cheap Date:
All fun, every show is high energy rock and roll. Everything you want to sing and dance to while you’re hanging out with some friends throwing a few back. Soul chilling vocals, screaming guitar, earth shattering bass, and pocket grooves makes for a rock and roll night.
