MIDWEST DILEMMA - A guitar, red trucker hat, folk songs, and an old Toyota wagon on open road. Justin Lamoureux has been performing as Midwest Dilemma for nearly a decade. Over hills, valleys, across high plains, mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, oceans and enduring seemingly endless beauty to reach destinations near and far to share his experiences of life in the Midwest in song.
But there is nothing typical about Midwest Dilemma. Lamoureux recruited 23 musical collaborators for the debut release titled Timelines & Tragedies in 2008. The revolving cast of characters fill out the woodwind, brass, string, and percussion sections. Timelines & Tragedies is a time line of family history. Tracing Lamoureux's ancestors to their days of French Canadian fur trading, the Great Depression, the struggles of his parents' generation with Vietnam, and eventually concluding with his life in the Midwest (Sioux City, IA and Omaha, NE).
Timelines & Tragedies was awarded OEA - Album of the Year for Omaha, NE in 2008 and went on to chart CMJ Top 200 (College Music Journal). Lamoureux and Midwest Dilemma are currently performing at festivals, venues, and getting radio play around the globe. The song Chicago and North Western on the Timelines & Tragedies release was selected and featured nationwide on the PBS television series Roadtrip Nation.
At live performances Midwest Dilemma can still be Lamoureux and his classical guitar or any variety of the orchestral-folk-rock ensemble.
Midwest Dilemma's album Timelines & Tragedies can be purchased on iTunes, CDBaby.com, or directly from the artist at www.midwestdilemma.com.a>.
