Jamband aficionados Lost Ox, based out of Portland, Oregon, have been unleashing their uniquely progressive brand of outlaw funk & Americana upon the once unsuspecting public since 2017. Originally generating buzz through local live performances, the band released their debut album, Wildheart, in 2018. Soon thereafter, they were playing to packed out venues across the Pacific Northwest and headlining annual gigs at the 500-capacity Star Theater. The ox stampede continued down the coast to California and east toward the Rocky Mountains, until a global pandemic reared its ugly head and saw a national tour and many festival dates circle down the drain.
