As an emerging musician rooted in the Maine Maritime music tradition and exploring the music of Scotland, "Oh When: Now" features the tunes I've loved for years as well as newer favorites from Scotland, Cape Breton, and Shetland. The album is a musical snapshot of the places I've visited and the musicians I've played with and learned from. Many talented Maine folks were part of this project: it was recorded with Owen Marshall, mixed by Noah Fishman, mastered by Lincoln Clapp, with album design by Elsie Gawler and duplication from Crooked Cove. CDs will be available for purchase.
The Oasis of Music runs from 12:30-1:00 on Wednesdays at Trinity Church, 247 Bates Street in Lewiston. Admission is free. Oasis of Music runs from September to May, and features artists from the greater LA region performing vocal and instrumental music of all types, from folk to jazz to classical, world and everything in between.
