Information/Write-up

Inspired by the theme of longing and heartache with a pinch of sass thrown in for good measure, In The Lonesome Hours takes you on a journey from the western prairies with songs like Caught You Looking and Little Darling Suzy through to the mountains of Appalachia with Stolen Key and Pixou Falls. You can’t help but notice the influence that the road has lent the music. After two years of touring and traveling through Canada and the United States, Oh My Darling has approached In The Lonesome Hours with the energy of a debut album, mixed with the experiences they have gained together. Together, they have forged new paths through the genres of country and folk, while maintaining a down-home vibe that exposes the old souls hiding in these young women.

With a sweet name and even sweeter sound, Oh My Darling conjures up the right mix of emotion and elation with their unique brand of country. Their prairie roots mixed with bluegrass, Appalachian old time, southern twang, and Franco-folk, makes their style a melting pot of musical languages. Infused with dynamic vocals, brilliant claw-hammer banjo, inspired fiddling, and grooving bass, their music will get your hips swinging, toes tapping, and put your heart right into their hands.

Watching Oh My Darling play, you feel like you’re walking into a room of best friends, interacting naturally and effortlessly. The wordless communication that happens between them that is mesmerizing. They are sincere and earnest on stage, with a measure of good-natured humor thrown in. You can tell they love to entertain. Their passion for performing is a force of nature, and that's a force to be reckoned with.

This is their first full-length album, recorded with renowned producer Lloyd Peterson (Wailing Jenny's, James Keelaghan). In the Lonesome Hours received a WCMA nomination, and earned rave reviews in the media. It also topped the national campus roots charts in 2010, making Oh My Darling the 14th most requested band on Canadian campus radio.

Throughout the past year in 2010, Oh My Darling has played sold-out shows from coast-to-coast, and showcased at the Canadian Country Music Awards. They were interviewed by CMT, received regular play on CBC Radio, and were featured on CBC Radio 2’s ‘Canada Live’ concert series. Currently, Oh My Darling are writing and recording new material, with plans to release a new single in early 2011. This will coincide with a winter/spring ‘Love Shack’ tour across Canada, as they prepare for the release of their next full-length album, and gear up for a busy summer of concerts and festivals, including performing at these years Winnipeg Folk Festival.
