About Us
Oscar LaDell, 22, was born in the US and raised in Purakaunui, Dunedin. The second-generation blues singer started out playing standards in nightclubs around Dunedin, featuring songs by Muddy Waters, BB King and Guitar Slim. Over the years, funk, rock, soul, R&B and more have found their way into Oscar’s music. 
 
In the space of one of LaDell’s original songs, the sound can range from a gentle slow dance to explosive and hypnotic guitar solos. Oscar’s powerful and expressive guitar playing and soulful singing act as one to create a sound that is both reminiscent of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s and fresh. 
What We Bring
I have a following among the Blues World, both with other artists and fans. From playing at Blues dancing festivals I've garnered an ability to cater to those audiences. My performances are intense and soulful, good for dancing in the evening with a band but also atmospheric performing solo on an afternoon. Additionally, if your festival offers workshops I can teach workshops on harmonica, blues guitar and general blues music and history.

"Tonight, he is solo with an electric guitar. The voice is out front and takes us on journey over time. Guitar playing with lots of space to breathe. Less is more and the sound is full."  Read more ...
Concert Review
​Rev Orange Peel, 13th Floor
 "“Well of Sorrow,” with its shimmering slide, Elmore James-esque riff, and blues truisms, may find its way into the pantheon of modern blues staples as a song that belies the youth of its 21-year-old author."   Read more ...
Album Review
​Willie Witten, Blues Rock Review
"Guitarist Oscar LaDell has come of age, wearing his credentials on his sleeve as he navigates his own musical past and influences on this impressively diverse release that mines a multi-decade style sheet from Muddy Waters to Eric Clapton and Curtis Mayfield."  Read more ...
