OSHIMA BROTHERS

Oshima Brothers, a Japanese-Italian sibling duo from the coast of Maine, make open hearted music with smooth blood harmonies and groovy guitar lines. On stage, Sean and Jamie share warm tones of folk, alt pop, and indie R&B on road weathered guitars, keyboards and a loop station. Offstage, the brothers enjoy sipping espresso, tinkering with guitar pedals, hosting dinner parties, and writing songs together. Embracing a DIY approach, they produce every inch of their songs and videos from scratch, including a 45-minute album film. Their latest work speaks of love, climate resilience, and family history repeating. Maine Public Radio says their “harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days.”
