OMAUR BLISS

Omaur Bliss.jpg

Raised on the eastside of Saint Paul MN, Omaur's eyes were opened at a young age to music and the joy it brings. On stage before many of us could do long division, he was destined to rock it, and rock it tight. Like many up and coming artists in Minneapolis, Bliss could not help but be influenced by the greats like Stevie Wonder and Al Green, Groundbreakers like Bjork and Squarepusher. Bliss’ sound is gritty underground spoken word in an affair with gospel, soul, and R&B. The result is conscious verses with soulful melodies and a hip-hop and drum n' bass feel. The music is filled with heart and soul, and it shows...for real.

Special Guests / Opening Acts: 

BIG ZACH (NEW MC)

New MC (a.k.a. Big Zach) is a longtime staple of the underground hip-hop movement in Minnesota. As a teenager, Zach jumped on the scene early with his crew the Kanser Troop, playing coffee shop shows and opening for Twin Cities pioneers such as Urban Atmosphere (now known as just Atmosphere, of course) the Abstract Pack, the Micranots, Musab, and others. In 1997 Kanser pushed over 1,000 copies of Now, an album produced on Atmosphere producer ANT’s 4-track and dubbed by hand to cassette.
