Oval Opus

Nestled on the Ohio River, where north meets south, is the humble
hamlet of Cincinnati, Ohio. Born in this hybrid culture of North, South
and Midwest, Oval Opus has soaked up a little bit of charm, a little
bit of honesty, and a lot of pop sensibility to mold their unique, yet
universal sound.


Spawned from a chance meeting at a house party on the campus of
Miami University in Oxford, OH, Oval Opus has spent the last several
years establishing themselves as one of the most successful independent
touring acts in Ohio and the region. Oval Opus has released three
full-length studio albums and one full-length live album while touring
nearly every state east of the Mississippi. Holding their own as a
headlining act in clubs and on college campus’, they have also shared
the stage in support of Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, America, Sister Hazel,
The Doobie Bros., Guster, O.A.R., Hanson, and many others.


Recently Oval Opus completed their fourth studio CD due to be
released in early 2006. Produced by veteran producer and engineer,
Erwin Musper (Van Halen, Elton John, Def Leppard, David Bowie), the
record includes songwriting collaborations with Jill Cunniff (Luscious
Jackson), Danny Kortchmar (James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Don Henley),
and Sam Hollander and Dave Schomer (Carole King, Michael Tolcher). The
record is a slick combination of Oval Opus’ tight radio ready songs
performed with the energy and virtuosity of their live rock show.
Soulful vocals, classic rock driven guitars and a grooving rhythm
section deliver profound yet playful pop/rock tracks with broad appeal.
