biographical info
Oxen Talk hark back to an era of old time music, when life was simple
and meaningful. These multi-instrumentalists will educate your heart
with their wit, charm, and fair manners. Oxen Talk is a Montréal-based folk-popera trio consisting of the loopy and lanky Vancouver natives Luke Neima and Adrian Levine, and the American yokel Bob Lamont, who hails from West Fulton in upstate New York. They use an absurd variety of instruments (Guitar Piano Banjo Cello Violin Trumpet Clarinet French Horn Pennywhistle Jaw Harp Whistle etc etc) to blend folk, gospel, doo-wop, and indie-rock into small bagatelles. They have created a large enthusiastic following in Montréal, and brought various houses down at large annual festivals such as the Suoni per il Popolo, FREEDOM FEST, COOL FEST and others. Their E.P. O Mores! has just been released by Arbutus Records (www.arbutusrecords.com), and they will be touring the Northeast US in mid and late July.
