Oshima Brothers, a Japanese-Italian alt-pop sibling duo from the coast of Maine, make open-hearted music with smooth blood harmonies and groovy guitar lines. On stage, Sean and Jamie offer keys, bass, drums, looping, dance moves, and magic. Offstage, the brothers enjoy sipping espresso, tinkering with guitar pedals, hosting dinner parties, and writing together in their spare bedroom studio. Embracing a DIY approach, they produce every inch of their songs and videos from scratch, including a 45-minute album film. Maine Public Radio says their “harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days.” yeemz uses her classical training to breathe new life into the cello, recontextualizing its voice in an indie folk setting where tradition meets quiet rebellion. yeemz (Yi-Mei Templeman) is a cellist, singer-songwriter, and composer based in Santa Monica, California. She blends musical worlds seamlessly, creating music that is intimate yet universal, intricate yet accessible. A lifelong songwriter, yeemz began composing at the piano, and later developed her signature style—singing while playing the cello like a guitar—after she couldn’t bring her ukulele to college. Her distinctive approach to the cello, paired with refined composition skills and evocative storytelling, has garnered a growing community of fans. She orchestrates all of her original songs, drawing inspiration from literature, classical music, and the indie-folk artists she grew up listening to. In addition to her artist project, yeemz is the proud cellist of her internationally acclaimed piano trio, Trio Gaia – the most recent trio in-residence at the New England Conservatory in Boston. She also performs classical cello concerts, composes film scores, records and arranges strings for other artists, and teaches cello students of all ages. Her debut album, produced by Leroy James Clampitt (Sabrina Carpenter, Madison Beer, Laufey), was released via Harbour Records in July 2025.
