The strength of the band can be found in songs of David DeVore and Joe Gillis yet the overall gem of Ohio Pie Factory's groove eminates from the rhythm section's improvisation and the unique lead guitar. You can hear samples of their music at e /ohiopiefactory

Two piece, dynamic original music act! Small, self-contained easy travel stage show with focus on sounding great instead of volume! Multi-talented, multi-versatile stage show with lots of unique instruments and switch ups displaying great talent! Singer with extreme range playing several instruments at the same time! Pre-recorded backup(all instruments played by members) gives full rich sound and allows artists to flow more freely and show off their abilities while still playing formal, orchestrated pieces(not just a jam)! Great work ethic and great variety of styles and genres all mixed up! Every song sounds totally different! Something for everyone!

We call ourselves a rock band because we really don't know how else to define a band with as much diversity in influence as we are. Fusion would be the second guess. We focus on solid rythyms and emphasize melodic overtones, resulting in a hell of a show! Give us a shot, you might like us so much, you'll want us back...

We are a 5 piece Christian band performing styles ranging from Rock to R&B to Hip-Hop to Raggae to Fusion. We praise God thru our music, lyrics and testimony. Most of our material is original with a few well know secular tunes where the words have been changed.
