iSound

Ove (or O.V.) has traveled all over the United States (and Texas), performing where he could. One of the highlights of his years on the road was a gig at the Bitter End--his first stop in New York.

Studio work included sessions for songwriter-producer Joel Jaffe and "Suzy Fischer, Featuring the Dinosaurs" (available on iSound under that title).

He's played in seven styles: Travis-picking, bluegrass, country, folk, pop, rock, and ragtime.

In 1973, he formed his first group--a trio, which sounded like Crosby, Stills and Cash. All the band members, in the Vague Impressions, played guitar, but their strength was three-part vocal harmony. Ten years later, he assembled another acoustic threesome, but switched from contemporary folk and rock to a bluegrass, country, and country blues blend. Members of the second band (posthumously called "Lost Keys") were Michael ("Barney") Pilgrim on fiddle, with Ron Huggins on lead guitar.
