Lee Oskar live in Langley

Experience Lee Oskar live on August 16th

Lee Oskar, renowned for his harmonica playing and association with the band War, is scheduled to perform at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds & Events Center in Langley, Washington on August 16, 2026. Oskar’s musical style blends elements of jazz, blues, funk, and Latin influences, prominently featuring his distinctive harmonica sound. He gained international recognition as a founding member of War, contributing to hits like “Low Rider,” “Spill the Wine,” and “The World is a Ghetto.” Following his time with War, Oskar pursued a successful solo career focusing on instrumental harmonica music and exploring diverse musical collaborations.

The Whidbey Island Fairgrounds & Events Center serves as a multi-purpose venue hosting a variety of events throughout the year. Originally established to support agricultural activities and the annual Island County Fair – which continues as a significant event – it has expanded to accommodate concerts, trade shows, festivals, and community gatherings. The grounds feature both indoor and outdoor spaces including exhibit halls, livestock barns (typically used for event staging during non-fair times), and open areas suitable for larger performances. It is a central location for many community events on Whidbey Island and provides space for regional gatherings.
