I have known Ossie since we were in middle school. He was a friend of my brother Goo (Gordon Coats). Ossie was a Floater super fan (a band my mom managed), and we saw him at tons of shows. He has always LOVED live music, acted like he is cooler than everyone, and been swagged out in his casual clubhouse wear (slip-on shoes for sure). Ossie pulls off the “I may live in my mom’s basement” look all the while bossing hard in his super duper grown up bossy job at the NR. Ossie is bringing live music to Mac in a BIG way. His baby is the Walnut City Music Festival. Young Pros support the festival this August at the Grain Station downtown McMinnville. ALMOST FORGOT – Ossie runs Ossome Pub Trivia. His Facebook will let you know all the goodness. There is a monthly tour of spots to catch him at. Ossie just married an incredibly lovely woman and are expecting their first child. Small town cuteness all over the place.
