OAKMAN
His serious music career Oakman (Nikolai Dubinin) has started back in 1989-1992 with Er.J.Orchestra as a drummer and percussionist. He had already a demo tape with a couple of songs of his own material by that time, and the idea of his own band was constantly on.
2001-2003 he rejoins Er.J.Orchestra, but now as a writer, co-writer, vocalist, co-producer and drummer. They are releasing their famous ON THE HILL AGAIN CD+DVD Special Edition album (highly recommended!!!) where the name of his track "On The Hill Again" becomes an album's title.
Thereafter Oakman writes a lot of a new material for Er.J.Orchestra but the band does not accept that because of differences of styles and lyrics availability. He leaves the band for the second time, but this time to form his own one called OAKMAN.
Practically, the band has launched 19 November 2006 as a supporting act for Manfred Mann's Earth Band in Kiev's Palace of Sports (Ukraine). They've played the whole set and people, who didn't expect them that night (OAKMAN were not on the list, Manfred Mann's Earth Band only) went absolutely ballistic, in a good sense though. The audience didn't know the band, their music etc., but they liked them straight away! What a surprise for the musicians! What a start for the band!
What kind of music do they play? - It is mostly a Progressive Rock with the big mixture of Art Rock, Jazz Rock, Folk Rock, World. Oakman personally calls it as an Intellectual Rock.
