Oweihops – Viburnum

  • March 2, 2010

Oweihops is a band from the Pioneer Valley, MA lead by singer/songwriter Michael Metivier and features multi-instrumentalist Aric Bieganek and cellist Rebekah Dutkiewicz. Oweihops have recorded three albums: ‘05’s Chickadee, ‘07’s Cinquefoil EP and their most current album, ‘09’s Viburnum. Viburnum – which is the name of a species of ornamental shrub – is warm, organic, poignant and vibrant, capturing images of the nature and beauty found in rural western Massachusetts. Oweihops’ music is all about leisurely strolling along and taking the time to enjoy the small things in life. Look for a fourth album sometime in ‘10. – Written by JFelton
