Exciting news that the album Tim O’Brien produced at my house in Nova Scotia, “Domestic Eccentric,” has been nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award in the Solo Artist of the Year Category. Tune into the event December 3 in Toronto, Canadian Folk Music Awards

Off to Boats and Bluegrass in Winona MN this weekend.

Delighted to announce “Domestic Eccentric” has been nominated for the 2016 Music Nova Scotia awards in the Americana/Bluegrass category. Tune in Nov 6.

Domestic Eccentric is available as a beautiful vinyl record, CD and digitally here: True North Records

Even better, Claire Lynch covers OML’s “Kingdom Come” from Tender is the Night on her new album. What an honour, and in addition to her crack band the track features Bela Fleck on banjo and Stewart Duncan on fiddle! Check out the record which features the songs of other Canadian tunesmiths here: Compass Records

Really pleased to announce OML will be joining Paul Brandt and all star Canadian songwriters at JUNOfest

On my way to Kansas City for a big meeting of the Folk Alliance. There are new dates up at the Tour page with many more to come as the winter continues. Of note are two special nights at Hugh’s Room in Toronto in April with Tim O’Brien  the producer of Domestic Eccentric.

I’m off to hike and play banjo in Nepal in March. Hopefully I’ll get overwhelmed by it all and disappear from social media but I’ll try and sneak some pictures onto Instagram.  Here’s a link to the tour if you are unbelievably impulsive and care to join: Nepal with Old Man Luedecke gigging in Tea Houses.

Domestic Eccentric, my most successful record to date has garnered a Juno award nomination and 2 ECMA nominations. I”m excited to attend both functions.

It’s available on vinyl now at True North here and in shops.

Oh, and I’ll be heading to The Planting at Woodford Festival in Queensland AUS at the end of April with other dates to follow around the east coast. Check back for details.,
