Friday Nights in the Recital Hall: Oakridge Ave

The Kingston group, Oakridge Ave. is quickly becoming known as one of the region’s hottest emerging bands. Featuring a lineup of four dynamic musicians—Harrison Stewart-Juby, Thomas Draper, Joe Kenny, and Sean Patterson—the group often draws inspiration from their hometown.With Patterson's melodic vocal hooks and stacked choruses, the band's lyrics are familiar but distinct, establishing themes that tap into deeper questions of humanity and what binds people together despite their differences. Through the band’s strong musical craftsmanship with Draper’s masterful guitar riffs, Kenny’s driving bass, and Stewart-Juby’s heavy percussion, Oakridge Ave. creates a vivid and fresh sound with maximum colour saturation.
