Oh Petroleum
Event organized in collaboration with Soul Kitchen
Maurizio Vierucci (a.k.a. Oh Petroleum) is a musician born and raised in Brindisi. He never studied music, but has always created it. He writes and records his songs alone in his home in San Pietro, Lama where he lives with his dogs. In 2007 he recorded the album “On the hill you can not bury what you love most” for Faier Entertainment. After a hiatus, he returned to music independently as Oh Petroleum with a self-titled album. He has participated in this year’s residency program, Sound Res, with Lee Ranaldo, David Cossin, Mina Tindle and Found Sound Nation. Oh Petroleum spreads his music by playing live shows in Italy and Europe. In the coming months, he will record a peculiar and mysterious “noise” album which will be documented for a film written to prepare for the release of the new album “Electric” with the collaboration of his friends, musicians and artists from around the world.
