""An enigmatic talent who remains a tantalizing mystery"
Pat Deighan & The Orb Weavers are a four piece rock band from Charlottetown PEI. The band is made up of Pat Deighan, guitar, vocals; Shayne Coady on drums, vocals; Dan Wagner, bass, vocals and John Mullins, guitar. They are a band with a strong musical vision that can be heard on their most recent album, In A Fever, In A Dream and the quirky Night Light where Pat shows off the beginnings of the Orb Weavers sound.
In A Fever In A Dream is best described as a collection of tunes that rock. As the principal songwriter, Pat has a natural gift for writing songs in various styles with special attention to melody and great hooks.
The new album contains 11 tracks. "The lead off track, Anna Marie is about someone who is lost", explains Pat. "It has a beautiful back up vocal from Catherine MacLellan", he adds. Another standout track is Marigold, which originally showed up on Eyes for Telescopes very first album Please Survive from 2001. "That song just begged to be redone", declared Pat while discussing the tracks on the album. Other highlights include Los Diablos and Here Too Long as well as Goodnight Charlie which was inspired by some lines from Charlottetown poet John MacKenzie. Pat adds, "At the end of the day, the listener will make the ultimate decision about whether this album is good or not.”
Their first album Night Light was released in November 2004.
"Night Light is a simple pleasure superbly executed by a musician with a natural gift for songwriting and a laid back approach to the playing of his songs."
"Deighan's hooky guitars and vulnerability burrow their way into your soul."
