Orillia Opry

about

Born in 2004, Orillia Opry is the sound of rythym driven accoustic guitar, and the un-orchestrated melding of vocals. Pandion Haliaetus is Orillia Opry's first album, recorded in Montreal in the Spring of 2005. The album catches the two key protagonists at their best, and is given extra life with the distinctive touch of Warren Spicer (Plants and Animals, Timber) as both producer and player, and Matthew Woodley on drums. Daniel Noble is from a small town rich with red brick buildings. Emma Baxter is from a valley on an island in the sea. Together they sing like crazy birds descended into the city from an opera house in a forest in the sky. Orillia Opry is like a comfortable old car. There’s a real warm familiarity to their songs, kind of like that worn leather interior and broken turn signal. Hitting the Montreal music scene with their unique and intimate folk sound for some time now, their songs are fuller sounding and more infectious than you would expect from a folk duo. Having said that, they also rally together an impressive backing band of some of Montreal’s finest musicians. With experience and balls to boot, an older and wiser Orillia Opry delivers folky (not folksy) rock music that is as catchy as it is timeless. Now set to release their second record, Lighthouse for Stragglers’ Eyes, they certainly impress with a more confident sound, and strangely dark subject matter. The songs were recorded to 24 track 2" analog tape at The Treatment Room in Montreal. They
