Heavily influenced by the sounds of jazz and classical music, Jamie continues to draw from these early inspirations and pair them with his dynamic vocal work. I suggest you catch them on their North American tour that goes through June 16th, 2013.Ahead of the release of his sophomore album, (04:30) Idler, London’s Jamie Isaac is gearing up for what looks to be a monumental year. Their live sound is just as wonderful as their recordings, proving their talent and enveloping listeners in their emotions. It was an incredible show that left the audience pining for more.

Even with little slip-ups, they remained composed and endearing, allowing them to really connect with the audience. Their passion and excitement came through in each song and their stage banter was more entertaining than I had expected.

I had the opportunity to see them in December at KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas. Needless to say, I absolutely love OMAM for their genuine talent. ![]() I listened to their EP so many times and played them so consistently on my radio show, that their song “ Six Weeks” is my most played song in my library and their song “ Love Love Love,” is my favorite to cover. Iceland’s Of Monsters And Men made their way into my heart when they released their EP, Into the Woods in December of 2011. Of Monsters And Men Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall ![]()
