Oswald Slain at Wiper and True Old Market Taproom
See event details

A gig on Saturday 28th March. The event starts at 20:00.


Born from the creative cocoon of his home studio in Bristol, Oswald Slain is a testament to both personal growth and musical evolution reflecting a period of deep introspection and a gritty outlook. Having reconciled with the chaos of youth and the trials of aging, lyricist Fitz channels these experiences into sincere, humorous, evocative songwriting alongside the timeless swagger of old retro rock records.

Oswald Slain’s sound is a rich tapestry woven from the threads of classic Americana, echoing the timeless vibes of Neil Young and The Band, whilst infusing it with the gritty, energetic rock essence familiar from their previous works. Anchored by the driving rhythms and fuzzy guitars, his take offers both reflective depth and an irresistible groove, promising music that resonates with both heart and soul.

With charismatic up beat full band performances that can have you laughing and dancing one minute, and heart broken the next, Oswald Slain’s live shows are full of soul, energy and heartfelt sincerity.

This is a free event, no tickets are required - 100% of the proceeds of fundraising tickets will go to Wiper and True's charity partner for 2025, supporting their work in homelessness prevention in Bristol. Read more about their work here - https://www.caringinbristol.org.uk/.
