Alumni Artisans: Sean and Jamie Oshima

Sean (’08) and Jamie’s (’12) magnetic sibling sound and contagious joy result from a lifetime of making music together. The brothers have honed a harmony-rich blend of contemporary folk and acoustic pop, and are often on the road performing. On stage, Sean and Jamie create a surprisingly full sound with dynamic vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, octave bass, loops, and percussion. Their debut album, “Oshima Brothers,” released in 2016, is a collection of 11 original songs written by Sean, and arranged and recorded by Jamie. Sean is the band’s songwriter, publicist, and business manager. He sings and plays rhythm guitar, harmonica, and cajón. Jamie is the band’s producer, recording/audio engineer, and filmmaker. In addition to singing, he plays electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, mandolin, banjo, and fiddle. The Oshima Brothers regularly release new original songs which may be found on their website and YouTube channel. They frequently perform throughout Maine and New England.
