The Odyssey creates music for the stargazer. It is meant to feel like a dream come true. The goal is to manifest a feeling rather than just make a sound - it is empowerment inspired by life and all of the emotions that come with the human experience. At times the music is vast and beautiful, and at times it is gritty and charged with emotion; but underneath it all is a sense of hopeful optimism. Using earthy and naturalistic musical tones through guitar, drums, & keys, The Odyssey takes its listener on a journey that acknowledges the ancient art of creating song that is inspired by nature, while also taking advantage of modern technology and tone in a way that reflects what it feels like to be a pioneer in a changing world. It is like taking a familiar vessel to a place unknown. To look into the stars is to look into yourself. The Odyssey is proud of their growing community and recent accomplishments, most notably the release of their debut album, “Saturn,” available now on all streaming platforms!

The band was originated as a highschool band from Bixby, Oklahoma in summer of 2014 by Jackson Gillett under the name Manta Rays.   After some changes in the bands line up, and playing around with a stage name, Jackson was a solo artist. and at this time Britton and Ronnie had a band that went by Anti-Gravity that had ended due to differences, and had just been jamming out and bugging neighbors. Then in the summer of 2016, Britton and Ronnie were spontaneously in the band after jamming out in the garage one day. And Manta Rays got another accidental start playing house shows in a friend’s garage, inviting friends to come and listen for an hour of their time and suddenly, this started a following of people, and with each house show more and more people showed up. With time and connections the band had with one another, they looked at it as an opportunity to share good music with people.
