The OTA (Organized Team Activities) ask “What would our world sound like if Humperdinck wrote ‘Hey Ya!’...?” Jumping across genres and eras in rock music is the band’s specialty. With a tune book of well over 100 songs at their disposal, The OTA can give you virtually anything you might ask for - and so much more than you could possibly imagine.
A captivating live show is what The OTA is all about: a non-stop party with dance-floor-slamming action and organic jams featuring plenty of groove.
The band is proudly partnering with the Regent Theatre for this one-of-a-kind, Live Streamed event, so now you can bring The OTA into your very own home without risking the furniture; no animals will be harmed during the streaming of this performance, but for safety’s sake PLEASE wear your (beer) goggles!
The Band Members…
Brian Rowe… Born and raised in Arlington and Cambridge, MA, Brian has been playing drums since he was fourteen (14) years old. Over the years, he’s appeared with numerous bands throughout the Northeast, most recently smacking the skins for both Reckless and The OTA.

Tim Byrne… Born and raised in Arlington, MA, Tim learned music at the school of hard knocks. Loves his guitars almost as much as his family. Beginning in the 7th grade with his brother in the band, Slaughtered Sheep, followed by the five-piece heavy-metal band Altamira, Tim mellowed in the 90s as a member of the acoustic trio Stakem, Trainor, and Byrne. Back with a vengeance in 2020, Tim is the face of The OTA and loud rock ‘n’ roll is his passion.

He’s also played on numerous studio albums with original artists/bands, most recently with 25 Pearl on their Celluloid Novelties EP.

Jimbo. Having received an upright bass as a wedding present back in 2009, Jimbo now gets lowdown and funky as half of The OTA’s rhythm section. With future dreams of playing the SAC Club and Zorba Music Hall in Lowellc, MA, this is his first Live Stream on stand-up. Previously appearing at Main Streets Market & Cafe in Concord, the K of C in Arlington, Fusion Taste, Spencerpalooza, and all the porchfests, Jimbo looks forward to the end of COVID and to a return to gigging on the regular.
The OTA is a modern-rock quartet with power and vibe. Fronted by wild man Tim Byrne, music-scene veterans Brian Rowe on drums Jon Gouveia on guitar, and low-end devotee Jimbo on bass, they’re here to put the musical flamethrower to your face! As the featured entertainment for countless weddings, function-hall celebrations, and rock-club nights, The OTA’s music is always familiar but their high-octane energy is completely unique.
