(DVD): Get "Sexxy" with Oktbrwrld live! in Vienna WHO WE ARE: OKTBRWRLD (Pronounced OCTOBER WORLD), a group of seasoned musicians on a quest to uncover the sounds that make them laugh, reflect their lows, embrace their 'ahs' and tell stories from the depths of their ancestors' souls. OKTBRWRLD, founded by guitarist/songwriter Elnathan K. Starnes has been captivating audiences since 1997 with the sounds of two guitars, a bass and vocals that sing out melodies best described as Alternative Rhythm & Blues (AR&B). Purposely staying raw and true to the early ages of music, before 'electronica, this quartet is unique in its formation and performance style. Entertaining, captivating and most of all funky..... OKTBRWRLD is in control! OKTBRWRLD has received national attention by performing in prominent venues, syndicated radio and television. "...OKTBRWRLD may not be household names now. But during the past couple of years, these groups have been hard at work building gig-to-gig buzz." G. Mitchell - BILLBOARD MAGAZINE Oktbrwrld is winning over fans with every performance. "You can call them "neo-soul" but locally based Oktbrwrld is so much more than that. Sure, they've got the soul grooves, but they have sharp pop and funk chops to boot, making them one of the best all-around bands in Washington" - Eric Brace Washington Post. OKTBRWRLD is known for creating an exciting musical spirit that exists well beyond the celebrated fall of October. The band is doing exactly what musicians love to do - venture into established worlds and build a style that is new and uniquely their own. Opened for such artists as Neo Soul duos FLOETRY and Kindred, legendary funk band CAMEO, American Idol sweetheart Kimberley Locke, R&B group 702, dance diva CRYSTAL WATERS, gospel sensation SHIRLEY CAESAR and even President William J. Clinton. If this group had a middle name it would be "versatile".
