Welcome to the official Oh My Darling website! November 30, 2011

As 2011 is coming to and end, we thought we would take some time to reflect on all the great opportunities that have come our way. It's been a year full of beautiful places, good music, and great friends, both near and far. So much was made possible by the support of our amazing fans. Whether by coming out to a concert, buying a cd, or giving us your words of encouragement, it's helped us along each and every step!!

Here are some of the highlights from this past year:

January, we started off 2011 with a fresh album to make. Lots of cozy rehearsals, writing and arranging sessions, and the beginning of preproduction for Sweet Nostalgia.

February we celebrated Oh My Darling's 3 year anniversary at the Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg.

March was a cold month, but we kept each other warm and (almost) avalanche-free, as we trekked to the West Coast and back on a month-long Canadian tour.

April found us in a little straw bale house in Roseisle, MB, recording our sophomore album Sweet Nostalgia with the fabulous producer Steve Dawson.

May & June saw us on our first European Tour! We performed 52 concerts in 60 days, in countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, & The Netherlands. The tour culminated in a special Canada Day performance in Trafalgar Square, London, England, sharing the stage with Blue Rodeo, and many other great artists chosen to represent Canada.

July & August was a busy festival season for Oh My Darling. Fresh off the plane from Europe, we hit the stages at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, including a great Mainstage spot between M Ward and Tegan & Sara!! We had so much fun getting to jam with the other artists at all the places we performed, from BC through to Ontario, and were thankful for the great weather and kind volunteers at each festival!

September, we released Sweet Nostalgia in Eastern Canada, with stops in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, Saint John, Fredericton, and almost everywhere in-between!

October we embarked on the tour affectionately nick-named "4 girls, 2 coasts, 2 countries, 2 weeks". Oh My Darling performed their US Debut at the Living Room, in New York City, then headed to Niagara Falls for OCFF, where we got to perform for many of our industries finest. We then crossed the country, and dipped into the United States again for a performance at Art Northwest in Eugene, Oregon, and the scooted up, waaay up, to the Yukon for 2 jam packed performances at Breakout West. Whew!

November didn't let us catch our breath, as we were busy preparing for our Winnipeg CD Release concert at the West End Cultural Centre, presented by the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and the Wecc. The show sold out at 450 tickets, we had many special guests, including Fred Penner as our Host with the most, and local brewery Half Pints made us a special keg of "Sweet Nostalgi-ale"!

As we wrap up the year 2011, Oh My Darling is spending December huddled inside, away from the cold and the snow, writing and rehearsing for what awaits us in 2012. We wish you the best during this winter season, and we look forward to seeing you in the year to come!

Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year!
