John Osebold

John Osebold AKA Jose Bold is a Seattle-based musician. His musical Spidermann made a splash in New York in March and last month he received a Genius Award from The Stranger. Meanwhile, Osebold continues to perform with his band, Awesome and pumps out copious volumes of new work, including Seateeth, an experimental piece of theater ostensibly about a literary reading.
