The Oxymorons take the stage with a mix of the hottest new songs, the best of the old, and their award-winning originals, giving audiences a night of hip-shaking New Orleans funk, soulful blues, Americana roots, classic rock, and cutting-edge guitar driven songs to entertain like no other.
“Grown-Up Garage Band
A lot of people dream of becoming rock musicians. But the middle-aged professionals who make up the Oxymorons never became super stars. The band members told Rachel McCarthy that their wonky Washington day jobs don't stop them from making rock-n-roll.”
Kurt Andersen and Nick Hornby - Studio 360
“Friday night in the Sprung. Local band the Oxymorons (pictured above) are on the small stage at McGinty's Public House, sweating through the blues-based rock, doing what all local covers-plus-originals groups do: working to please the crowd.
And suddenly, a huge cheer erupts. A huuuuge cheer, with screaming and clapping and stomping. The song comes to a close. Conga player Paul Hyland is moved to ask, "What just happened?"”
Dave Nuttycombe - Washington City Paper
