Midwest Dilemma presents orchestral folk songs and waltzy ballads on their debut release titled "Timelines & Tragedies." Twenty two members, consisting of strings, woodwinds, brass, orchestral drums, and nontraditional chamber instruments accompany singer-songwriter Justin Lamoureux. "Timelines & Tragedies" is a timeline of family history, tracing Lamoureux's ancestors to their days of French Canadian fur trading, the struggles of his parents' generation with Vietnam, concluding with his life in Omaha. "Timelines & Tragedies" is the perfect outcome of Midwest Dilemma's vision.
