Maren Ord Teaming With Randy Bachman
Maren Ord looks for new deal
Maren Ord has been in the studio recording a new demo with Randy Bachman (Guess Who).
This is a good article which gives a history of Maren’s work and what she currently pursuing musically.
“The eighth of 10 children, Ord, now 22, got her start in the music business touring with her family’s band, the Ord Family Singers, before embarking on a solo career at age 16. In 1999, she won a talent search on Edmonton’s Power 92 station, and later was invited to perform a couple of dates on Sarah McLachlan’s female concert fest Lilith Fair.”
They connected with each other through the Tonos website. Tonos is an online music insider’s network for creating music and collaborating with others.
“He [Bachman] describes the first meeting as nothing short of ‘incredible,’ yielding several songs in a matter of days, all co-writes with Ord, his wife, Denise McCann, and himself. ‘So we met with her cold and she came with an acoustic,’ Bachman recounts. ‘I said, ‘Sing me something. Sing me the last song you wrote’ and she just let it blast, like she was onstage. There were no inhibitions.
“Some (artists) would go, ‘Oh, I have a sore throat or my guitar’s out of tune or this isn’t very good,’ you know, start making excuses. She just blew me and Denise off our chairs. We were sitting in the hotel and then she played me another song and we went, ‘Wow, this is great.’ Gave her a few ideas and the songs just poured out.”
Maren recently completed a new track, Abide With Me, for the new Mormon cinema movie The Work & The Stories.
