Blue Ranger + Oropendola
April 30, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Enjoy a cozy night of music by Blue Ranger and Oropendola!
Josh Evan from upstate NY based band Blue Ranger will be joining us for a very special solo set.
The band formed in 2015, as a trio, here to remind us that there are small moments of magic in the everyday. Over the past 8 years they have been crafting soft-focused folk that celebrates the beauty in our uncertainties with an existential flair. Following their 2018 LP Saving A Beauty (Five Kill Records) came a fresh single – True Blue – where candid, autobiographical tales dance among a wealth of imaginary characters. The group brings their propulsive folk influenced sound to improvisatory heights in live settings – the product of countless years moving sound.
Joanna Schubert, the Brooklyn-based singer/keyboardist/composer/arranger behind Oropendola, creates kaleidoscopic chamber pop filled to the brim with energy and emotion.
Her debut full-length album, Waiting for the Sky to Speak (recorded with Zubin Hensler) will be released on March 17th, 2023 with Spirit House Records and Wilbur & Moore Records. It is an imaginative and colorful chimera of a collection peppered with the raw theatricality of Kate Bush and FKA Twigs; the off-kilter humor of Miranda July; the surrealism of Alice in Wonderland; and the melodic core of Joanna’s childhood soundtrack (90s pop, jazz standards, and the Beatles).
The Oropendola live crü is a rotating cast of of 1-7 musicians, including synths, clarinet, flute, and 3 part harmonies. Joanna has also been a touring member of Half Waif and Barrie, sung with Grammy nominated Gnawa musician Samir Langus, and currently plays in Brooklyn bands Nicomo and beccs.
