LOST...in a Concrete Jungle
I've been forced into the big city to apply for my official drivers-licence

Concrete, dirty, confused and unnatural thingz...

Please allow me to introduce ourselves :-)
The OMNIA "live-band" (this happy band of weirdos) is a lot more than what you see on the stage!
An OMNIA live show would not be possible without our whole great team
working together as one unit.
Did you know for instance that the longest non-stop OMNIA member is actually Sascha (our chief technician) who's been working with Jenny and me since 2010!
Here... let me introduce everyone to you that was "in OMNIA" this weekend:
Thank you EuroFolk!
What a great music-festival! Both the audience AND the organisers were absolutely amazing! We were treated like old friends,
You guys really made us feel at home and we had a great gig...
In which the Nature Energy flowed strong as a mountain river :-)
On the road again! ;)
#On the Road again!
We're rolling to our first gig of the year (Eurofolk in Ingelheim) and there's some old and new friends joining us today in the OMNIA travel family!
Like our former OMNIA backing-singer/stage dancer Maral!
Remember Maral from the cd "Musick and Poetree" and the "Don't speak human" tour?
Well, She is helping us out behind the scenes now in OMNIA PR and management :-)

Ps: on saturday we play our first festival concert since our 6 month break...
On the lovely "Eurofolk" in Ingelheim (Germany)
See YOU there?
SteveSic in a Car!? WTF?!
Hahaa! Yup, it's true ... after a lifetime of being
"no drivers licence man" I decided to do something "different" and I took lessons and learned how to drive a car!
I got a great teacher called John (who's actually an ex musician)
and I passed my test today ;-)
I am now deemed legally fit to guide a large hunk of hot metal machine along the public highways of the world!
This doesn't mean that I'm gonna go out ,buy a big assed Hummer an race it straight to the local mcDonalds drive-through...
Band Practice
Band Practice!
We PaganFolkRock together,
We wash dishes together....

Back to the Roots of PaganFolk!
There's a new OMNIA festival tour coming up, and for this year we have chosen to go back to our musical roots to bring you a selection of the purest PaganFolk like we used to play it when we built this style.
Simpler, earthier, more focused, less "main stream" elements... so we have decided to change the basic OMNIA line-up back to how we had it in 2013 with:
Rob Thunder on drums, percussion and backing vocals,
Daphyd Crow on Sliding didgeridoo, mouthharp and ethnic vocals,
Jenny on Harp, Hurdy Gurdy, Piano, Bodhran and vocals and
myself on Irish Bouzoukis , a suitcase full of flutes and vocals.
This means that Satria will not be joining us on stage this season... BUT this means also he has time to work on his own project "Sunfire".
Foxgloves and locks
We're chilling in our garden, Jenny's fixing her dreadlocks and I'm contemplating life while writing my first blog in a long time...
It feels like summer in our forest and The foxgloves are already in bloom :-) (which is odd but also quite cool because we love FoxgLoves)
The new season of Omnia shows will be starting soon for us and we are slowly gearing up into "concert mode" , practicing, playing tunes,
Arranging stuff and most importantly feeling the vibe of Nature and trying to translate it into a coherent Omnia stage show/ritual.
