One of the things we love the most on this show is when an artist grabs two (or more) genres and brings them together brilliantly and just turns your preconceived notions of what to expect in music on it’s ear. When we took a listen to Orillia for the first time, we knew we were on a ride down a new road and were going to enjoy every turn.
We’re joined by frontman and songwriter Andrew Marczak and his collaborator, harmonizer and partner Peach for a dive in to their backstories and across their music catalog.
Under his moniker Orillia, Andrew Marczak follows the long tradition of folk music’s more progressive stewards, commanding audiences with his unique bracing tenor and skeletal arrangements. With 2 albums under his belt, he has toured across the US, Canada, and Europe, and currently resides in Chicago with his partner and collaborator, Peach. His newest record, Fire-Weed, is out now on Far West Records.
We share their tracks “Oreo Ice Cream”, “Weather” and my fav “Rich Chicago People”, and they perform “Hoyt Axxton” live during the show! Such a great ep.
