Our Story

The Meaty Ogres are a Berkeley, CA-based sextet with a mission to revive rock, funk, and soul favorites while introducing our own sounds from the Ogre creative archive.

The band’s unique blend of musical backgrounds has created one of the Bay Area’s fun new groove-tastic forces.

We are Dave Mackay (Harmonica, Percussion, vocals), Tommy Sasso (Keys, vocals), Chris Kemp (Drums), Andre DeRussy (Guitar, vocals), Joe Vittoria (Lead Guitar), and Joshua Kaplan (Bass).
