OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

From the cold and empty streets of Ireland to the hustle and bustle of Melbourne come ZeoN: an indie Irish folk freak-show!
ZeoN are well-renowned for their quirky adaptations of popular tunes as well as their Irish-inspired originals such as “I’m Drunk, I’m Skint”.  They’ll make you want to stomp your feet, get drunk, dance, laugh, sing or even shed a tear.

​
Zenita O’Neill is ZeoN’s front-woman and the rumoured love child of Stevie Nicks and Shane MacGowan. Once upon a time Zenita could be found buskin’ on the streets of Belfast but after fulfilling her destiny of flying across the seven seas, she has permanently settled on the sunny shores of Australia.
﻿
ZeoN’s drummer Renee Russo was sent to Australia as a convict in 2006 for stealing a bottle of Buckfast tonic wine. While in prison, she learned to play drums with two pencils on a tin spaghetti can… and a syncopating star was born!

Tommy O’Neill is shy in stature but wild at heart. More importantly, he has the fastest fiddling fingers you ever did see. Tommy has been described as “deadly” by his mostly female fan base - hardly surprising after getting sent to Melbourne from Mayo for breaking too many hearts!
﻿
Don’t be fooled by the size of James Wisely’s instrument - this finger-picking country hick is a talented musician who plays mandolin, banjo & guitar. Legend has it that James is most probably the illegitimate love child of Allison Krauss & Garth Brooks.

﻿ZeoN…coming to a session near you!
