The Om-en are spiritually connected souls sharing the positive message and energy of their original songs. The Om-en are John Sparling, Anthony Pravata, Dan Doxsee, Steve Miller and Julia DeGasperis. The band name “the Om-en” is from the sacred sound and spiritual symbol “Om” and the band loves to write and play original spiritual songs. All living beings are sacred and music flows through our spirits making us eternal. The Om-en’s roots are on Long Island from which all the members hail. The Om-en have played some of the largest music festivals on Long Island including the Great South Bay Music Festival on LI (10 years running), have played national festivals in Florida and Utah and this will be the 6th performance at the Montauk Music Festival.

Anthony Pravata is lead guitar extraordinaire and backing vocals. Dan Doxsee (the Holbrook Hammer) is on drums and backing vocals.

The Om-en sold out their latest album release party at the iconic Stephen Talkhouse, and played between the Killers and Jimmy Buffett at the Talkhouse. The Om-en will be playing the Montauk Music Festival and the Great South Bay Music Fest again in 2025 and connect with all the great energy of the crowds and performers. The Om-en are spiritually motivated. They match all proceeds from gigs and album sales to teen suicide prevention and child meditation causes. Their original song “Forever Came Too Soon” tells the personal tale of a young life and all the love lost way too early. The band supports all legitimate charity events with a donation of their performance.
