“Slightly muted colors give a vintage tinge to the
visual that allows it to match its soundscape a little more. A complicated
relationship, lots of curls, and some quick choreography make for a stellar
visual experience.” – Imperfect Fifth
The music video for ‘The Tinkerer’ is a surreal comedy
about a young girl and the chaos of growing up. Everyone knows that adolescence
can be just as complicated as adulthood and the contrast of the image of a
child and the thoughts of an adult lets us explore that idea and laugh about it
at the same time.” – Oliver Kennan

Oliver Kennan | About
“Impressive is an understatement. If this is what we can expect from his upcoming album Oh Boy, we’re in for a treat.” – Groundsounds
“Some people have an internal monologue,” explains
NYC-based bandleader, Oliver Kennan,
“I have an internal jukebox and I want to show people what it sounds like.”
Beneath Kennan’s
youthful appearance lies an old soul. The internal jukebox he speaks of is
stocked with classic 45s from the golden age of soul and funk. It’s the vintage
kind, where you can see the inner workings behind the glowing glass dropping
your current bop into play. On Oh Boy, Kennan is spinning bits and pieces of those records into something
entirely his own.
The jukebox is stocked with modern hits, too: Kennan’s stated influences range from Otis Redding to Arcade Fire, Dr. John to
Radiohead, and Wilson Pickett to Amy
Winehouse. Kennan’s vocals,
songwriting, and guitar playing skills honor all of his heroes, classic and
contemporary, but his greatest talent may be in leading his band. The ensemble
is comprised of accomplished performers in their own right, and together they
are one of the city’s most exciting soul ensembles.
“I want people
to feel like they’re reading my journal on the dance floor at my party.”
