Drenched in soul, nestled deep in a groove, OTiS is the product of
time and experience. The band strings together sounds that have deeply
influenced their lives to create music inspired by everything from
soul to funk and back again. Singer Craig Alan had a dream to unite
like-minded, passionate musicians, and his dreams are most certainly
coming true. Since 2009, the Brooklyn band's presence has been on the
map, but in the last year they've solidified a reputation as a show
stopping live act, with powerful musicianship and song writing chops
to boot.
OTiS has recently made appearances at the cult-favorite Montauk Music
Festival and the highly anticipated Escape2NY Music Festival. They
remain in the rotation of NYC's hottest venues including Southpaw,
Sullivan Hall, and their new favorite, Rockwood Music Hall, on
Manhattan's Lower East Side.
Be sure to catch their debut music video "Automatic People" premiering
this Fall, filmed entirely on the streets of Brooklyn. Directly
following the video's release, OTiS is very excited for the launch of
their second album, "Music Elevator." This exceptional follow up to
their self-titled debut album, "OTiS" (2009), promises to get bodies
and minds moving in the right direction. Look for it on iTunes, Amazon
and CD Baby.
OTiS is:
Craig Alan: vocals, guitar
Justin Etheredge; keyboards, vocals
