As we embark on our 36th year at Lee Oskar Harmonicas, we are SO excited about all that this new year holds—starting with our upcoming participation later this month at NAMM, which is the largest trade show in the world for musical instruments. Lee Oskar's vision has always been that his branding of harmonicas is connected to people representing all walks of life, as demonstrated with Lee’s ongoing collaboration with Playing For Change and their “Songs Around The World” campaign. We will unveil our “For All/For Life” campaign with a head-turning photographic exhibit, (booth #6210). This campaign demonstrates the versatility and universality of Lee Oskar Harmonica instruments. This exciting consumer-facing campaign features dramatic fine art photography portraits, showing people who represent all ages, stages, walks of life and professional backgrounds. The campaign showcases extraordinary photographs taken by gifted music photographer Michael Weintrob (Author of the fine art photography book – “InstrumentHead”) as well as the talented team from Jerry & Lois Photography, whose images will be included in a special video collage. Michael will join Lee and Sri in our booth to celebrate the campaign’s big reveal! In addition, Lee Oskar Harmonicas Featured Artist Brian Collins will be stopping by to perform and interact with visitors. You never know who might drop by. Watch our Facebook page for live updates from the NAMM show floor from January 24-27!
Also, on the horizon in 2019 are several music-oriented projects in which Lee is actively involved, including:
-
