So Many Things

So Many Things -- Meg Hinton

The Band Oslo Snowe is an LA based group of best friends Dennis Morgan, Meg Hinton, Zan deHavilland, and Peggy Johnson. The new single, Catalina tells a story of the band's sailing life, and the beautiful fun of sea shanties. The tune also reflects the band's joy in reuniting after the layoff during the Covid lockdown to record again and sail the Pacific Coast to Catalina Island, California.

Blue Eye Walkin' In Dead Man's Shoes tells the story of a Band Oslo Snowe member's loss of sight.  Inspiration for the song was influenced by a supernatural dream he had while under general anesthesia during surgery. He attributes this to his having viewed the Disney Pixar animated film Coco prior to surgery. 

The rock tune Blue Eye Walkin' In Dead Man's Shoes tips its hat to traditions like Halloween, Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), All Hallows Eve, and All Saints Day that span late October through early November.

During rehearsal to record Marty band members decided to play vintage guitars ranging from plastic to koa and other retro models used by artists such as Django Reinhardt and in the collaboration of Train with Hall & Oates who played GS Mini Mahogany models on "Philly Forget Me Not".

This set the sound-stage for recording Marty which is a story-song based on a French court ruling in recent years that employees could not be terminated for failure to be "fun" by participating in seminars and weekend excursions that often involved excessive imbibing and bullying.

Embracing the human condition:  A mid tempo riff-crafted acoustic and electric guitar driven tune whose introspective lyrics are about how life when viewed from far away seems to change when viewed close up.

As the Hillary Clinton camp goes about preparing for the September 26th debate with Donald Trump they should take a page from the late Muhammad Ali’s playbook with a boxing technique called “Rope-A-Dope” in which a boxer pretends to be trapped against the ropes, goading an opponent to throwing ineffective punches.  A verse from Round For Round reminds us: “Be a diamond in the rough—Get tough mess-em up—Shut-em up shine-em on—Make-em fear ya”

At this moment we can only hope that Hillary is in training for the onstage “Round For Round” debate battle with this hotheaded opponent.  With a little rope-a-dope in the ring she’ll manage a few upper cuts to get under Trumps skin. Roll with the punches, bob and weave, and go for a dump Trump KO. Keep your chin up along with the chorus: “Goes round comes round fall down—Take on another round—Get up go round for round—Leap up and turn around”.  And rope-a-dope Trump.

If the tune falls a tad short of becoming a Hillary debate anthem we hope everyone enjoys the several prizefighting song scenes wrapped up in this indie rocker. Round For Round is an empowering song for when you need to stand up for yourself or simply want to feel badass when being bullied.  The song is from The Band Oslo Snowe debut EP called, Broadreach.

Round For Round -- The Band Oslo Snowe

Don’t be misled by the title.  This is not a typical cotton-field blues offering so much as an indie-acoustic tune that can be about anybody or anything. This easy going indie-coffeehouse chill number is punctuated with  tasty fretless bass solos backed by riff-crafted acoustic guitar and solid electric rhythm guitar sections

The pseudo film noir scenes in the video on Youtube represented a perfect platform to showcase Ain't Goin' Back without the need for a lyric video.  As the story song runs through the scenes it underscores the noir-ishness of the tune and its homage to film noir classics of the early to mid 1950's.  Ain't Goin' Back was inspired by the Turner Classic Movies series, Noir Alley hosted by film historian Eddie Muller.  In addition to the video creating a movie going experience via opening and closing live audience action it also includes a reference in the finale to the iconic popular film location in downtown Los Angeles, California -- The Angels Flight: "...steal away in the night, take The Angels Flight once more..."

Rain, Rain, Rain

After a few years of insufferable drought here in Southern California the early months of 2019 have been the "rainiest".  And that’s a word songwriter producer Dennis Morgan was unfamiliar with – “rainiest”. After a few weeks of steady drawn out rain Oslo Snowe band members Xan deHavilland and Meg Hinton were in the studio going over material for Xan's follow up solo project to the single “For All Things Good”. In the mix of things the subject came up about a recent thunderstorm when someone mentioned the word “rainiest”.  It struck a chord with Morgan who later that same day wrote, “Rain, Rain, Rain”. Note: the word “rainiest” is not used as a lyric in the tune.

About this track (in brief):Breaking up is hard to do. But procrastinating doesn't make it easier...

"...Tomorrow -- Whenever you are free -- be someone else for me,
And try to do your best -- let fate do all the rest..."

Broadreach Music and The Band Oslo Snowe are a group of best-friend musicians Dennis Morgan, Meg Hinton, Zan deHavilland, and Peggy Johnson rooted in the Indie-Alternative and Singer-songwriter genres who currently focus on transforming their works of self-described "story-songs" into video productions.  Both the band and solo projects on this platform view their creative approach to songwriting as poems that feature a plot.  A favorite is the story-song, Hurricane Part I and II by Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy protesting the imprisonment of professional boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.
