About this Event
Otis is bringing DJ Strawstone with him. Another touring act, Matt Pless is joining us. Local hip hop act Gorilla Pimp and local comedian/emo rocker, Zach Dresch are joining in on the party!
Otis Julius (formerly Big O) is a Hip Hop/Punk Rock artist from Caldwell Idaho. Otis Julius is positive, progressive, real, and creative. Otis Julius is art, and I am Otis Julius.
In my five years of doing Big O, I put out 4 EPs, toured all over the United States, Western Canada, played a major festival in Indonesia, played a show in Singapore, and all on my own terms and my own dime. I’ve built it to what it is now, and have decided to rebrand under the name of Otis Julius.
After the demise of a punk/hardcore band I played in for a few years, I planned on leaving music. Thankfully, it sucked me back in and I started experimenting with Hip Hop, my first musical love. I wanted to incorporate what I loved about the live energy of punk. I believe music should be something you experience, not just listen to, I really pride myself on my live set and energy at a show. Getting everyone involved is really important to a great experience.
Combining elements of folk, punk, pop and rock, Matt Pless can lyrically turn a phrase with the best of them and has been compared to some of the preeminent songwriters of our time.
A consummate performer with a high-energy stage presence, Matt Pless travels the road continuously entertaining and astounding his audiences. With guitar and harmonica as his tools of choice and words as his main characters, he has shared the stage with the likes of Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Alkaline Trio, Arlo Guthrie, Bad Brains, Fallout Boy, All Time Low and others.
Matt’s extensive touring schedule has taken him to Europe, and across the U.S. multiple times playing venues from bars to boxcars and basements and everything in between...wherever there are people to hear his music.
And almost anyone can relate to a Matt Pless song. His unique gift for writing lyrics and melodies that appeal to the core of the human condition is, like Matt himself, an experience.
