Jimi Hendrix once said: “Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.” The greatest blues guitarists are those who can connect the passion of blues, the movement of the soul and its faculties, to that of a guitar neck, and then to an audience. This is the connection that audiences have sought in blues music since its beginning on the cotton fields in the south, and this is the connection that will keep blues alive and well far into the future generations of society. In the words of Johnny Winter, “I’m still alive and well,” and that’s exactly where blues is today. But in order to perpetuate this desired connection of passion to the pentatonic scales, the blues needs a new generation of artists to carry that connection forward. At age 22, Johnny Oskam is among this new generation of blues artists.
Johnny Oskam and his band currently are spreading their fan base across the southern California region. Johnny has opened for artists such as Tab Benoit, Shawn Jones, Tower of Power, Lee DeWyze, Eric Burdon, Albert Lee and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Johnny also had the opportunity to play on stage with his long time hero and number one inspiration, Jonny Lang.
The production of Johnny’s debut album currently is under way as well. Johnny hopes to successfully integrate into the album the wide spectrum of his blues influences and the essence and passion of the blues that inspire him. Johnny eagerly awaits the album’s release in May 2014, hoping with it to capture the attention of blues fans not only in the local area of southern California but throughout the world.
Johnny Oskam has been playing guitar since he was age 13. Since then, Johnny has demonstrated a virtuosic skill on the instrument, but there is a lot more to Johnny than just fancy leads and guitar playing. Behind Johnny’s guitar strings is the depth of an old soul that the world needs to hear, see and experience. His voice, guitar and songwriting skills all culminate in his powerful presence to bring to an audience this very soul, a soul that has grown up listening and feeling the passion and connection of the artists that preceded him in the journey of the blues. Artists such as Son House, B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as the latest generation of artists such as John Mayer, Derek Trucks, Tab Benoit, Matt Schofield, Philip Sayce, Doyle Bramhall II, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang, to name a few, have all been instrumental in the shaping of Johnny’s soul in a more profound way than just picking strings and playing notes. The essence of the blues, as it uniquely rings through the aforementioned artists’ music, rings through Johnny Oskam’s music as well.
