Why this will be One Way Traffic’s first time through Focal Point is a conundrum, but it certainly won’t be their last. Born from an open-mic bluegrass jam in St. Louis, Missouri, One Way Traffic is a five-piece band with an eclectic sound. Inspired greatly by Americana, Blues, and Jazz, the band combines their individual influences to create a gumbo chock full of musical deliciousness and surprise. In the 6 years together, One Way Traffic has established themselves as a premier band within the St. Louis music scene, selling out shows monthly at the storied Broadway Oyster Bar and playing world-class venues like The Sheldon Concert Hall, The Pageant, and Old Rock House. One Way Traffic is Leah Osborne (baritone uke/vocals), Sam Aubuchon (mandolin/vocals), Justin Rose (guitar/vocals), Erik Ferguson (bass) and John Brighton (violin).
