Oshima Brothers with opener Madeleine Roger

Oshima Bothers, a Japanese-Italian alt-pop sibling duo from the coast of Maine, make open-hearted music with exhilarating, almost unbelievably smooth vocal harmonies and groovy guitar lines. With keys, bass, drums and looping, they create a sonic experience that is contemporary, danceable and yet full of poetic observation about big things going on in the world. Their unique music is fueled by technical tinkering, aesthetic brilliance and devotion to human connection. Embracing a DIY approach, they produce every inch of their songs and videos from scratch, including a 45-minute album-movie. Maine Public Radio says their “harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days.”

Winnepeg singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger has a riveting, intimate style that unites lyrical prowess and breathtaking melodies that linger long after they're sung. “Madeleine's excellent songwriting, ear for traditional-sounding melodies, fabulous voice, and skillful guitar playing give them a timeless quality, though they speak directly to our time.” - Stan Rogers Folk Festival​​.
