Biography

Midwest Dilemma’s 2008 debut release, Timelines & Tragedies, earned the OEAA Album of the Year, with songs charting on radio stations throughout North America. Visionary singer-songwriter Justin Lamoureux and his folk orchestra have graced international festivals, sharing stages with Lord Huron, Conor Oberst, Blind Pilot, Langhorne Slim and Counting Crows. Midwest Dilemma’s song "Chicago and North Western" was featured on PBS's Roadtrip Nation.

Midwest Dilemma’s highly anticipated follow-up release, Searching for the Cure for Loneliness, set to drop on September 13, 2024, unveils a cinematic soundscape that resonates deeply with Lamoureux’s introspective songwriting. The album weaves together themes of inner struggles with life and the push-pull of comfort versus adventure. The song “The 49’r,” with haunting reverb and swells of orchestral interplay, encapsulates the life of a touring musician. The album features over twenty unique musicians with innumerable influences, creating a genre-bending folk journey you have to experience.
