Bad Roads: Screaming for Change (009)
For this episode of Bad Roads I talk with Pittsburgh musician Oyo Ellis. Oyo has been independent musician and producer in Pittsburgh since the mid 80s. While his music might be what he is best known for, Oyo is also now the head of The Battered Citizens Fund, a new nonprofit whose mission is to assist the under insured/uninsured injured during protests. We talk about Oyo’s new role with the nonprofit as well as his current band, Killer of Sheep. Along the way we hear music from some of Oyo’s musical projects over the years and a host of other music from Pittsburgh and beyond.
