>>VIEW SONGLIST
Several students from The West Indies formed OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS in 1988. These students played with various bands in the Caribbean and wanted to continue playing music in the United States while pursuing college degrees.
As the members graduated, some returned to the Caribbean while others moved on to pursue careers in their various fields of study. Mr. Peter Humphrey, OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS' band leader, decided to continue The Oasis Spirit by hiring local musicians in the Washington, D.C. area who were exposed to Caribbean music. His aim was always focused on satisfying his customers by “Quenching their Musical Thirst.”.
Presently OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS performs regularly in many establishments throughout the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. You can find OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS performing in a few clubs to include The Caribbean Crossroads, Zanzibar On the Waterfront, Bukom Café, Safari and Fast Eddies. You may have also seen OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS at several International Festivals in the area and at the Air Jamaica & United Airlines Promotion Festivals In the metropolitan area. OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS has opened for world-renowned performers such as: Luciano, Sanchez, Morgan Heritage, Gregory Isaacs, Denis Brown, Fabulous Five, Burning Flames, Machel Montano, Barrington Levy, Freddie McGregor and most recently Joseph Hill and Culture.
The band’s primary goal is to "Quench Your Musical Thirst" with popular dance music of the Caribbean, including Reggae, Calypso & Steel drums as well as African music. OASIS ISLAND SOUNDS' aim is to reach out to a diverse community and provide everyone the opportunity to unite through music.
