"The Mighty Orq stands flat-foot and delivers... with everything he plays."
- Ray Wylie Hubbard
"Tune in and dig it - I dig The Mighty Orq. The Mighty Orq is Mighty Fine, Mighty Fine."
- Shinyribs
"Pure Texas."
- Martin Sexton
The Mighty Orq is so many things. He is bayou blues in a suit and tie. He’s gritty folk storytelling, unfurling from under an open road Stetson. He’s swampy juke joint fun, mischievous and free. He is classical virtuosity, improvised on a cigar box guitar. He is growling rock-and-roll. Critics and audiences have known and loved the Houston-based Orq for decades now. His fanbase is loyal, international, and always growing, thanks not just to his albums, but to consistent touring throughout the US and Europe. On his 9th album Stolen, Orq proves his wild exploration of roots music remains a gift to the rest of us. “I’m an independent artist, so I don’t have to fit neatly here or there,” he says. “I like a lot of stuff and I want to play it all.” Orq laughs, then adds, “There’s a freedom here, if I just let it be.”
NEWS & UPDATES! 11.7.2024 Hey Y'all! Well here we are back to picking and uh-grinning as best we can. If you noted the flier at the top of the page then you'll see I've got some fun ones coming up both solo and with the band. Chris Ardoin and I will also be doing a duo show here and there. It's a format we've been working on, and I'm excited to see where it leads. We hope to see you all out and about over the next couple of weeks, and hope y'all are doing beautifully. See you when the downbeat drops. - TMO
