The country band 12/OC was born in their family kitchen in Portland, Maine when brothers Will and Reid were both under 14 years old. Country music was always playing in their household, and making music together was, simply put, the way of life. The band started to find its groove at open mic nights throughout the region, which became the foundation to turning this family pastime into a family career. As their popularity has grown so has their versatility; their wide range of music has helped increase their fan base across the country, making them one of the fastest growing country music acts in New England. Having the most requested song on Maine's #1 Country Music station for 16 straight weeks, as well as adding a handful of New England Music Awards,12/OC isn't slowing down anytime soon.
12/OC also has a weekly morning feature with the Jon, Joe and Courtney morning show on WPOR called "12/OC Takeover".
