About

The Band Oslo Snowe / Broadreach Music is a labor of love among a group of best friends and multi-instrumentalists Dennis Morgan, Zan deHavilland, Meg Hinton, and Peggy Johnson.  Their latest release, Catalina underscores how the band likens itself to other boating enthusiasts who enjoy the sailing life like actor Morgan Freeman, and musicians Simon LeBon (Duran Duran), former Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young members Neil Young and the late David Crosby (who wrote the classic, Wooden Ships on his sailboat, Mayan).  The newly released Youtube/Vevo video of Catalina reflects the sea shanty adventure of the band aboard their sailboat named after the band Toad The Wet Sprocket's album of the mid-nineties, Dulcinea.  Part and parcel of the band's lifestyle, the tune, Catalina showcases among other things the effort to raise awareness of climate change during the dramatization of sailing the Pacific Coast to Catalina Island, California.  The beautiful fun of the band's sailing life is further illustrated by the sea shanty vocal arrangement sung in the style of a round during the song's outro/vamp.

The Band Oslo Snowe endorses the United Nations context: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, mainly caused by human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels.
