The Flying Oms

The Flying Oms – Vocal & String duo Extraordinaire! is an eclectic and spirited musical ensemble led by world-class violinists Rob Diggins and Jolianne Einem. With a dynamic mix of violins, viola, guitar, and vocals, they explore a rich tapestry of sounds that spans continents and centuries. Drawing from a wide array of musical traditions—including original Celtic tunes by Rob, Eastern European folk music, Jazz Manouche, Klezmer, Appalachian and Old-Time fiddle, Gypsy music, English Country Dances, Baroque arrangements, Delta Blues, Indie String Pop, and String Jazz—The Flying Oms bring an innovative twist to these timeless genres.

Their performances are a joyful blend of the old and the new, infusing classical structures with a fresh, free-spirited energy that calls to mind the laid-back, vibrant spirit of 1960s and 70s Topanga Canyon. Picture the intimate charm of chamber music drifting from a sun-dappled deck overhanging Topanga Creek, where every note dances with subtle freedom, sometimes catching a breeze of that hip, funky chic, folk influence that defined Topanga's golden era—and carrying with it the kind of soulful inventiveness that seamlessly blends sophistication with an easygoing, bohemian edge. The Flying Oms create an experience that feels at once timeless and alive, bridging musical eras and cultures with an adventurous, inviting spirit.

Their sound invites both contemplation and movement—whether you're swaying to a sultry Jazz groove or tapping your foot to a lively Eastern European folk tune, it's clear that The Flying Oms have mastered the art of making complex music feel both accessible and joyful. Their performances are as danceable as they are captivating, guaranteed to entertain, inspire, and leave you with a smile. Join us for an unforgettable musical experience, where the magic of the past meets the vibrant creativity of the present.
