Band - Omnia

...draws upon the traditional roots that have brought forth all music to bring an otherworldly and moving performance to the stage. OMNIA's nature-religious songs and fascinating stage act are a veritable feast for your eyes, ears and soul as interwoven voices and intricate melodies lead you through Pagan Heaven to Pagan Hell and back again... with a smile on your face.Playing self-composed 3rd-millennium Folk and world-music with a sprinkling of traditional melodies and dance tunes from places like Brittany, Ireland, Scotland and Afghanistan, OMNIA's music is 100% acoustic - no synthesizers, no electric instruments, no programming, just pure honest music.Dressed in black neo-Celtic clothing adorned with the bronze age holy symbols of our Celtic/Pagan heritage and surrounded by handmade beautifully decorated traditional instruments. OMNIA takes the audience along into a world of living nature, humour and earth magic.

OMNIA's sound is a mix of the deep earthy tones of didgeridoo expert Luka Aubri-Krieger (East-Indies), the virtuoso harp, hurdy-gurdy and bodhran playing of Jennifer Evans-van der Harten (Holland), the unmistakable "DADGAD" guitar-groove of Joe Hennon (Ireland), powerful drums by Mich Rozek (Belgium) and flutes, bouzouki, drums, and ironic dialogue of front man Steve "Sic" Evans-van der Harten (England). All of this is entwined and bound by the voices of all four band members who sing in English, Gaelic, Breton, Latin, Finnish, German and Hindi...

Since 2002 OMNIA has become one of the pioneers of the "PaganFolk" movement and has harvested international acclaim at many Gothic, Pagan, Folk, Medieval and Fantasy festivals throughout Europe. OMNIA is a completely self-managed independent and free-spirited band which has survived and prospered in the harsh music business. OMNIA writes their own material, they record, produce and print their own CD's on their label "PaganScum". Their costumes and stage decoration, as well as many of their instruments, have been made and/or decorated by the band members themselves.
