5 PM - The Oh Wells

The Oh Wells were formed in 2007 as an act of boredom by then 16 year olds, Molly Griffin and Sarah Jickling.

There’s nothing quite like the blended harmony of sisters’ voices. The Pilkey Sisters – from oldest to youngest, Harmony (Tenor), Destiny (Soprano), and Britteny (Alto), have been entertaining audiences since 5 years of age. These precocious teens, began their career singing Southern Gospel music, and over the past several years have ventured into various other musical genres including jazz, oldies, and country. As an additional feather in their caps, they were voted 2009’s “Best Vocal Group” and Destiny was voted “Best Solo Artist” in the B.C. Jr. Talent Competition. Through their exceptional ability to harmonize, they have gone on to become the favorite “sisters” group, performing at many corporate events throughout the lower mainland. Their parent’s say their voices blend so uniformly, they have a hard time telling them apart over the telephone!

In late 2010 Orbit added their first original song “Forever We’ll Be”, which immediately became a key part of their live set, and continue to write original material. They hope to be in the studio this fall, recording their first demo CD. Orbit has played over 25 shows since early 2010, and continues to play events around the Surrey/Langley/Delta areas — hope to see you at one soon!

From the heart... like he envisioned it should be! That proved to be the successful record that would propel Damian to 2 top 15 singles in Canada, 3 top 20 singles, a CCMA nomination for the 2006 Chevy Truck Rising Star Award and again in 2009, in which he also received the honour of performing for the CCMA Presidents Dinner as well as performing on the live televised award show with Jann Arden!
