The Ragged Orchids at The Purple Onion

Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Start: July 31, 2010 8:00 pm

Here's what Reverbnation has to say about The Ragged Orchids:

Although the Ragged Orchids are a fairly new band, they have already amassed a significant catalog of original tunes. Their unique blend of Americana, alt-country and pop draws deeply from a well of influences, ranging from Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, and the no depression roots music movement. Their songs evoke lost love, twisted trysts and small town disillusionment all recanted through a smoky haze of bar room whiskey and southern colloquialisms. Their melodic style is complemented by a poignant lyrical sense, enduring harmonies, and a uniquely American sensibility of country and pop.

Come check out this amazing band. For more information call us at 828-749-1179.
