It all started with a jam session on a Winnipeg winter afternoon, just a few girls sitting around, pulling tunes from the air, trading leads, and thinking about their future. Three years later, the Winnipeg-based roots quartet Oh My Darling has released two critically acclaimed albums, and is touring ceaselessly. Headlining sold out shows across Europe, Canada, and now the USA, they have earned opening spots for Blue Rodeo and Tegan & Sara, performed at Trafalgar Square's Canada Day celebration in London England, are crowd favourites at Country and Folk Festivals, and are winning the hearts of all who come to experience their energetic live show!

Inspired by Classic Country, Appalachian Old Time, Bluegrass and Francophone Traditional music, the songs of Oh My Darling are strikingly original, while evoking the lexicon of these diverse musical influences. Dazzling solos, soaring vocals, and unique grooves enhance thoughtful songwriting, and arranging, where instrumental melodies and poetic lyricism are nestled together. The title of Oh My Darling's latest release, Sweet Nostalgia (2011), was inspired by the way the ladies were reconciling their love for playing traditional repertoire and their love for writing original material. The result is a stellar follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut (In the Lonesome Hours, 2010) where the four have found a common ground between the past and the present, resulting in their best effort yet.

It's their love for performing, and the excitement of live music that Oh My Darling strove to capture while recording Sweet Nostalgia. In just seven days, in a straw bale house in Roseisle, Manitoba, all 10 tracks were recorded live, with the Juno Award winning producer Steve Dawson. The result is a raw and honest sound that has the exuberance of the stage show, and shines the spotlight on each of these girls' extraordinary talents as musicians and songwriters. Vanessa Kuzina (vocals, guitar, fiddlesticks), Rosalyn Dennett (vocals, fiddle), Allison de Groot (claw-hammer banjo), and Marie-Josée Dandeneau (acoustic bass), make up the members of Oh My Darling, and each is a musical prodigy in her own right. All Winnipeg born and raised, some of the members had never met until an afternoon in 2008, when Allison decided to host an old-time jam, inviting female musicians she knew from around Winnipeg's thriving Roots scene. What began as a social occasion, quickly developed into the group's first rehearsal, and by the end of the day a band was born!
