Ian Oberst
My band is...me! It's not really much, but it's quality, not quantity, that counts. My "band" started out a simple love of music...singing in choirs, playing instruments for myself. It grew and became a friend, a release I could turn to when I need to express things I couldn't articulate with mere words. Now it's almost an addiction. I can hardly stop myself from writing music. I just recently released my first album and am looking forward to more!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Hardly. Running more than one instrument at a time with only one guy is tough. I do get a chance from time to time to perform with friends, but it's few and far in between.
Your musical influences
Relient K, Switchfoot, Ray Boltz, Roger Whittaker, Kutlass, Skillet
Lot's of classical music!
What equipment do you use?
My primary instrument is an Ovation Celebrity. I'm backed by a Yamaha keyboard working with Reason. I do most of my mixing with Sonar 5.
