Insomniatic Winter Blues

Holly Sorensen, a voice major at EOU, composed and performed this song in the Electronic Music Lab. She says, "the song, Insomniatic Winter Blues was written a few years ago when there was a lot of snow and I hate snow. I felt cooped up indoors and it bummed me out. I wanted to hybernate through the rest of the winter until spring came." Holly can be heard singing with The Wasteland Kings and the EOU Chamber Choir. Audio Sample (YouTube)
