Who are we?
Since their electrifying debut with the Terra EP in 2015, Melbourne-based duo Opal Ocean, comprised of Alex Champ and Nadav Tabak, have taken the world by storm with their unique blend of instrumental music, combining high-octane Spanish guitar techniques and dynamic performances that make them sound like a full band. Their breakout viral hit “J.A.M.” garnered a staggering 30 million views, launching them into the spotlight as one of the most exciting acts in modern instrumental music. With intricate, psychedelic-tinged acoustic soundscapes, Opal Ocean released their debut album Lost Fables in 2016, captivating audiences worldwide as they toured Canada, New Zealand, and Europe. Their follow-up album, The Hadal Zone (2020), saw them collaborate with Dream Theater’s Jordan Rudess, further solidifying their reputation for pushing the boundaries of acoustic guitar music. Opal Ocean's thrilling live performances have been a game-changer—combining raw energy, technical mastery, and rich sonic layers, they deliver shows that leave audiences in awe, often making it hard to believe it’s just two musicians on stage. Their unmatched chemistry has led them to headline major events like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2021, while also earning endorsements from Godin Guitars of Canada. In 2022, they released the Fish Food EP, reimagining tracks from legends like Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, and System of a Down. They followed this up with a European tour, playing at hotspots like Spain, France, and Malta, headlining the Earth Garden Festival. The momentum only grew in 2023, when they dropped their live album and lit up stages across Australia and Europe, with a standout performance at Festival Bout du Monde in France. 2024 saw Opal Ocean conquer their first-ever European winter club tour in Germany to sold-out crowds, followed by a triumphant return to Canada’s Festival Guitare du Monde. Their summer tour across Europe included stops in France, Austria, Malta, and the Azores, continuing to showcase their fierce energy and groundbreaking fusion of genres. From intimate clubs to massive festival stages, Opal Ocean brings an epic, full-band energy that is truly one-of-a-kind.
