“Nor’easta” is an album of fiddle driven dance tunes and songs in the tradition of the Northeast New England Region and upper Appalachian region of New York State that reaches into the Canadian provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, the migration path of my ancestors and family.
The music on this is album is a mix of American Roots, Acadian/Celt in the style that emanates from the dance, concert and town halls, granges, parks and bars that I have performed in throughout this region for most of my professional music career.
The songs on “Nor’easta” tell the stories of traveling throughout the region bringing fiddle and song joy to venues in the Northeast to the Underground Railroad in Portland, Maine’s “Munjoy Hill”.
It can get cold up here in the Nor’east for 6 months of the year as sung in the songs “No Way Out” and “Lament for the hopeful”. Playing and dancing with the fiddle creates much warmth in these months. These Acadian/Celt/ American Roots are in my blood and my family history.
See you on the dance floor! EJO

Les Paul: The Legend Plays On

Wild Wetlands is an 8-track mix of field recordings of wetlands atmosphere, frog song, bird calls, and digitally-produced tonal tracks and sound effects from these recordings. The tracks feature some of the threatened bird species of the Macquarie Marshes including the brolga, grey-crowned babbler, Major Mitchell cockatoo, and the Australasian bittern. Layering heavily manipulated sound and tones with ‘quieter’ moments of gently lapping water, chorusing frogs and birds brings focus to those things around us we may not always notice - the hum of life and death underpinning our natural ecosystems.

This was performed with the Wild Wetlands video projection (Greg Pritchard & Peter Aland) on paired 360-degree speakers hung in the trees around the temporary outdoor projection space at the Western Plains Cultural Centre.

“When the World Falls Apart”

There’s a crack in the ceiling
Got nothin’ done today
Just watched the paint peeling
What day is it anyway?

Wonderin’ how do you feel?
And where are you now? 
This is all so surreal
That I can’t see you somehow

What do we do When the World falls apart?
And we can’t touch  
I’m like an actor without a part
I miss the world, I miss the world so much 

What do I do with this broken heart?
‘Cause we can’t feel.
I’m waitin’ for my whole world to restart
We all need love to heal.  

I’ll venture outside
Gotta walk before I dance
Fight this desire to hide 
Give the sun another chance 

Like the beautiful calm 
Just after a storm
Where we’re all free from harm
Will this butterfly transform?      

What do we do When the World falls apart?
And we can’t touch  
I’m like an actor without a part
I miss the world, I miss the world so much 

What do I do with this broken heart?
‘cause we can’t feel.
I’m waitin’ for my whole world to restart. 
We all need love to heal.  

How will it be?   
When will we know?
What will be left when this is done?	  
All I can do   
Is try and Believe 
I hope I’m not the only one 

What do we do When the World falls apart?
And we can’t touch  
I’m like an actor without a part
I miss the world, I miss the world so much 

What do we do When the World falls apart?
And we can’t touch  
I’m like an actor without a part
I miss the world, I miss the world so much 

What do I do with this broken heart?
‘Cause we can’t feel.
I’m waiting for my whole world to restart
We all need love to heal.

“Open Your Eyes” Mirabai Iwanko accompanied by Kate Beever
