Oxymorons

"Engagingly off-center brand of pop...slapping bass lines, flirty harmonies, blues harp solos and just your basic all-night-party, alternative career groove." -- Washington Post
"Clever, witty, danceable stuff" -- Washington Times
"Extremely tight. Full, well-rounded rock sound" -- MTV.com

The Oxymorons take the stage with a mix of the hottest new songs, the best of the old, and their award-winning originals, giving audiences a night of hip-shaking New Orleans funk, soulful blues, Americana roots, classic rock, and cutting-edge guitar driven songs to entertain like no other.

Combining seasoned musicianship and soaring vocals, this seriously-fun eight-piece band has been playing local venues since 1989, including the Black Cat, State Theatre, Velvet Lounge, Clyde's, Lewie's, and the legendary Bayou. They've played Adams Morgan Day, the Great Falls Summer Concert Series, Counter-Inaugural Balls, and countless benefits, weddings, and private parties.

The Oxymorons are two bands in one - capable of reeling off favorite party tunes spanning three decades and well-crafted originals in the rock, funk and blues veins. Songs from their two original CDs have received airplay on local radio stations and were selected for two Washington Area Music Association local music CDs.

Their funkily eclectic cover list includes songs by the Neville Brothers, John Hiatt, Elvis Costello, the Beatles, Macy Gray, Fiona Apple, the Pretenders, Foo Fighters, Al Green, and Bruce Springsteen. With male and female vocals, two guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, congas, and blues harp, the 'Moronz have the versatility to please any crowd.
