The Oh So Serious have been dragged kicking and screaming into twenty first century’s sound. Their love for early blues and jazz records have left them tinged in another world. Packaged neatly into the talents of Franco Jamneck on bass, Thinus Scheepers on brushes and Vana Smollensky on guitar, the outfit bring tales of love lost and revenge, freedom and hope. 

"Their sound transports you back to another time and the show is never the same - always highly entertaining”
-SAFindit

“The band is no joke because they have perfectly and exactly nailed an early folk sound mixed with country roots and bluegrass music that no one else on the local scene has done yet”

- a thousand guitars

“Folk met ‘n titseltjie jazz (of soms blues) partykeer. Passie en talent in the Oh So Serious is daar ook volop deesdae.

Passie is aansteeklik”
