Weaving an Eco-Celtic soundscape that soothes, but grooves.... Music that invokes spirit, self and dreaming the deep.
Sweet and soulful, Oona's new album Honey and Holy Water flows with urgency and wonder. The honey bees are disappearing. The oceans are in peril. It’s been 40 years since Woodstock (the only cover tune on the disc). Will we make it "back to the garden" before the jig is up? From the fun and funky re-creation of the trad tune Drowsy Maggie to the heartfelt plea for preservation of The Wild Ones, this album reminds us of what is lost and what yet might be saved.

What do Benjamin Franklin, Marie Antoinette, Homer, King Richard the Lion Hearted, and singer songwriter, storyteller, sound healer, performer, and harp and voice teacher Oona McOuat of Salt Spring (Saltspring) Island, British Columbia (BC), Canada, all have in common? They all play the harp. Long renowned for its magical mystery and sound healing powers, for thousands of years the harp has formed a bridge between this world and the next. The harp is the instrument of choice of angels and mermaids. Although it is a symbol of Celtic culture, the lore of all cultures heralds the harp as an instrument of power and possibility, healing and hope. In Christianity and paganism, at weddings or in fairy camps and circles, from Vancouver to Victoria and across North America and the world, the music of the harp touches and transforms.
