Greetings from Germany and Winnipeg Folk Fest!June 24, 2011

Greetings from Germany!

Oh My Darling has been on the road since May 5th, starting with a small tour of Eastern Canada, followed by a rip-roaring, 53-date tour of Europe. Our luck has been incredible the last few weeks. Each concert in Europe has been a uniquely beautiful experience, and the enthusiastic response from our audiences has been overwhelming. Good weather, kind people, rich food, and the best beer around, who could ask for anything more?! After a great batch of festivals, Spring Bluegrass (CH), European World of Bluegrass (NL), Grevengrass (D), and Big Bear (NL), we completely sold out of our entire stock of CDs, but on the plus side, this will lighten our suitcases for the journey home in July!

Speaking of home, the Winnipeg Folk Festival has just released the schedule for this years lineup. Here's where you can celebrate Oh My Darling's return to home soil by kicking up your muddy heels and tapping your sunburnt toes:

- Thursday, July 7th, 10:40-11:00PM, MAINSTAGE: CONCERT (between M. Ward and Tegan & Sara)
- Friday, July 8th, 11:00AM-12:00PM, Bur Oak Stage: CONCERT.
- Saturday, July 9th, 1:00PM, CD Store: CONCERT and CD SIGNING.
- Sunday, July 10th, 11:00-12:15PM, Shady Grove: "This Machine Surrounds Hate and Forces it to Surrender" Banjo  Workshop (Allison de Groot w/Rosalyn Dennett)
- Sunday, July 10th, 1:00-2:30PM, Big Bluestem: "So Long Bannatyne, Hello Birds Hill Park" Manitoba Workshop (Oh    My Darling hosting)
- Sunday July 10th, 3:00-4:30PM, Shady Grove: "Don't Trad on Me" Neo-trad Workshop (Oh My Darling hosting)

We are looking forward to enjoying some of the Manitoba summer, as well as performing at select festivals, such as:

• July 22nd-24th Islands Festival, Duncan, BC
• July 29th-31st Fire & Water Festival, Lac du Bonnet, MB
• August 5-7th Red Rock Festival, Thunder Bay, ON

Stay tuned for more info about our new CD, and our big release in Canada this fall! Where ever the roads leads us, we hope to meet you along the way!

Love from,
Oh My Darling
