Oshima Brothers live concerts are surprisingly rich, with dynamic vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, octave bass, loops, and percussion.  The duo hails from rural Maine, were raised in a musical family, and have been creating and performing since they could hold instruments.

Jaime has been recording songs and making videos in his home studio, Tiny Room Studio, since he was twelve. “Senior” member Sean is the band’s songwriter, publicist, business manager, stylist… and chef. He sings and plays rhythm guitar, harmonica, and cajón.
