About / Biography

ODB Project is led by Michael Dion, former lead singer/songwriter of New England’s high-energy, genre-bending string band Hot Day at the Zoo (HDATZ) and current front man of rock & roll powerhouse Daemon Chili (DC). ODB Project puts a decidedly unique twist on the one-man-band ethos. Imagine one guy singing and playing electric guitar, harmonica, and lap steel guitar over unique arrangements of acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keys and percussion. Expect to see fresh arrangements of classic rock/blues songs ranging from legacy artists like Beatles and the Grateful Dead to more contemporary acts like The Wood Brothers & JJ Grey. ODB Project also provides a free song request service called RequestNow that allows folks to request songs via text messaging right from their cell phones during a performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Gathering of the Vibes was the best festival slot I ever played. Best venue would have to be the Paradise Rock Club in Boston.


What's your favourite type of event?

I enjoy playing all kinds of events but breweries are the most fun.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I played in an all-original bluegrass band for 10 years. Then an all original blues/rock band. This lead to the creation of my one-man-band ODB Project.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I’m a big Deadhead so I’d say I’m most influenced by the Grateful Dead. I also love Bob Dylan as a songwriter, who has arguable written some of the greatest songs of all time.

If I provide sound, I require 1 hour of setup time. If sound is provided, I require 30 minutes of setup time.

Yes, I perform outside at many venues throughout New England spring - fall. I also do a lot of busking in and around Boston.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes, I provide a song request service called RequestNow where clients/listeners can request songs via text messaging in real time during the performance.
