succeed in life," says Jonny Olsen, aka Jonny O. Armed with a fortress of drums, percussion, flashy lights and artistic props, Jonny O performs an amazing 60 minute
rhythmical show that will knock your socks off, making your soul come alive. Participants learn the importance of rhythm in music and life and will heartily laugh

Description:
Otis Strange is an original Classic Rock band that started in 1992 in Ottawa, Ontario. The name derives from a line in
Hamlet “O’ tis Strange the night…”The band hosted a popular house gig at the Downstairs Club for many years in the mid-90’s, eventually moving
on to play larger clubs and festivals such as Barrymore’s and the Hope Beach Volley Ball Tournament. Their catchy, rhythmical and eclectic style of rock has roots in
The Tragically Hip, Pearl Jam and Bob Marley, but they are most comfortable when they jam it out like the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers.
By the end of the night they’ll have you drumming on your table, singing their songs and reaching for another beer, guaranteed!
