Ossia (Italian for “alternate musical passage”) is an ensemble built on the idea of musical exploration.
Comprising Jess Deacon (vocals), Jessica Murphy (keys, melodica), Robert Kingi (guitar, bass), and Cam Steel (drums, percussion), Ossia creates space for music to evolve beyond its original form — stretching into improvisation, reinterpretation, and moments of spontaneous connection.
Blending jazz-adjacent textures with soul, folk, groove, and a touch of sass, Ossia invites audiences into an intimate live music experience where curiosity leads the way.
This is music that listens, responds, and breathes in the moment: familiar songs reimagined, unexpected turns embraced, and musical conversations unfolding in real time.
