About Sons of the Opeongo :

The band's songwriters, Barry and Jim Lorbetskie were born and raised in Barry's Bay, Ontario.

Hunting, especially deer hunting, has always been an important part of rural life and so it was for the Lorbetskie boys. While at the family's hunt camp a few years ago, they began writing songs inspired by their experiences of the hunt.  These ranged from memories of their teen years,  and the excitement of finally being old enough to join their father,grandfather, uncles and cousins at the camp; to the sombre reflection as adults that they may be the last generation of Lorbetskies to hunt. Barry and Jim soon realized that their songs weren't just about hunting, they were about a vanishing aspect of country life and something worth sharing with a larger audience.

The Lorbetskies believe this collection of songs is the first of it's kind: hunting songs written by hunters themselves. Although there's a good dose of humour on the disc they feel this is no Elmer Fudd novelty album. Their intention was to craft songs that, while fun in nature, did not make fun of the hunting experience. Rather, these are songs rooted in honest storytelling and fine instrumentation.
