Oddwalk breaking up
OddFriends, After nearly four years of a successful ministry together, Shannon and Orin decided earlier this week to break up the act.

Catholic Schools Week 2008, Immaculate Conception, Columbia, IL
Oddwalk performed a concert Thursday night (as the snowstorm began) in Columbia, IL. Thanks to Oddwalk fan Nick who took these photos (and more) of our appearance!
