Backstory:
Uncommon Oatmeal was formed in the small town of Avena, Iowa in 2009. The band’s members, lead vocalist and guitarist Joey “Oat” Oates, bassist Sam “Bran” Branigan, and drummer Kelly “Grain” Grainsworth, met at a local farmer’s market where they bonded over a shared love for music and, of course, oatmeal. They decided to turn their passion into reality and started playing at local bars and cafes, quickly gaining a loyal following.
Their breakthrough came in 2012 when they were discovered by a famous music producer who happened to stumble into one of their shows while passing through Avena. He was so captivated by their unique sound and engaging performances that he decided to sign them to his label. Since then, Uncommon Oatmeal has been pouring their heart and soul into creating music that resonates with their fans and continues to rise in popularity.

“Morning Harmony”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Wake up, it’s a brand new day, [C] sun is shining in a [G] charming way
[D] Spoonfuls of love and a [C] bowl of dreams, [G] life is more than what it [D] seems
[G] Kitchen smells like warmth and cheer, [C] as the day’s dawn is drawing [G] near
[D] Hear the sound of the morning dove, [C] it’s another day to [G] love [D]
(Chorus)
[G] Morning harmony, [C] in a bowl of oatmeal [G] rising
[D] With every spoonful I [C] take, there’s a new day [G] dawning
[C] Uncommon, but it’s ours, [G] everyday starts with these hours
[D] Morning harmony, the [C] sweetest thing in [G] life [D]
(Verse 2 repeats verse 1’s chord progression)
Wake up, it’s a melody, life is singing in a perfect key
Bowl of oatmeal, a cup of joe, ready to face the day and go
Sunrise colors the world anew, every day is a different hue
Taste the sweetness of the dawn, another day to be reborn
(Chorus repeats)
