MP3 Micah Olsan - Off Beat Clappers and Hip Toe Tappers
This album is a mix of different genres, moods, and grooves. At times hauntingly plaintive introspective and at others fast, furious, and funky. Think acoustic fingerstyle guitar with Afro Caribbean rhythms, a funky bass lines, and soaring vocals.

Micah’s influences span from Paul Simon to Radiohead. His palette has a broad brush and a plethora of colors. There are some exquisite arrangements that Olsan, his band, and producer have wrapped into a diverse mix of grooves and moods.
