The band shares its name with a small town just outside of their home base of Huntington, West Virginia. All five band members of Ona were raised in the area, with a couple of guys knowing each other since grade school. By tapping into their own social circles, the current line-up took hold in 2016: Brad Goodall (keys), Bradley Jenkins (vocals/guitar), Zach Johnston (bass), Max Nolte (drums), and Zack Owens (guitar). The band agreed on their name after Jenkins happened to wear an Ona Little League ball cap to rehearsal. Recorded at various intervals over the course of 18 months, Full Moon, Heavy Light showcases a band that could easily deliver an arena show while still retaining the sincerity of the ‘70s songwriters in their parents’ record collections. Wistful songs like “Summer Candy” and “Young Forever” are at once timeless and contemporary. The band says that they aimed to make a record that’s perfect for intensive listening on headphones as well as mood music for dinner parties with friends. The optimistic streak that runs throughout the project is both genuine and disarming. Also, part of what makes Ona so unique is that their sound stands apart from the country and bluegrass heritage that the state is known for. Asked if there’s a thread that ties these nine songs together, Owens replies, “It’s not too direct, but I’d say it’s a common truth that we all have – whether it’s love or emotion or contentment. There’s still longing, but it’s also about being happy with where you’re at.” Even the album title alludes to the possibility of seeing things in more than one way. As Jenkins explains, “A full moon is associated with all these dark, ominous things, but it’s also the brightest thing in the sky at night -- and it can lead you in a good direction, too.” For more information, you can visit https://www.ourvinyl.tv/ Credits: Director: Michael Moen Producer: Michael Reuter Gaffers: Chase Lochamire & Craig Hill Camera 1: Allen Ralph Camera 2: Tom Beal Camera 3: Frank Otero Camera 4: Craig Hill Camera 5: Michael Moen Tracking Engineers: Nick Byrd & Sean Brna Mixing Engineer: Dylan Alldredge Mastering Engineer: Kevin Dailey Photographer: Molly Mantlow #LiveMusic #IndieRock #alternativerock Songs: "True Emotion, Summer Candy, Young Forever, Sleep, Rinse, Repeat" (Brad Goodall, Zach Johnston, Bradley Jenkins, Max Nolte, Zack Owens)
