OK Aurora are a London based octet led by drummer Rod Oughton. Taking inspiration from artists such as Steely Dan and Becca Stevens, this project fuses contemporary jazz and popular music. The band formed in the Summer of 2019, and released their debut EP 'Baby Zeza' that September. Having received Arts Council of England funds in 2020, the band performed a short tour of the south west before recording their debut album at Giant Wafer studios in Wales. The finished album ‘Only In Autumn’ was subsequently signed by the Ubuntu Music Label for release in July 2021.
