THE OUTLAW and THE SON A western noir told by Stoney Martins

A stellar run at the Hamilton Fringe Festival!
In the latter half of July, 2026, OATS took the stage at the fabulous Westdale Theatre for seven shows at the Hamilton Fringe Festival. These performances featured Hamilton-area guitar-slinger Andrew Aldridge and great lighting work from Hayden Kristjanson. Performing at the festival was a wild ride and we have many people to thank, including tireless supporters Larry Chamberlain and Rick Banville. Photos by Kasey Bridges.
What audiences are saying
“Musically, it was like Pink Floyd meets Hank Williams … There was a depth to this performance, in the words, in the music, and in their expression, that was both rare and rewarding.”
“Guts, glory, folly, wisdom, redemption, and love between a father and son presented Hamlet-style.”
“A fascinating blend of storytelling, drama, original music, emotion and ambiance.”
