BIO

The Orange Mighty Trio is an instrumental collective based out of Minneapolis. Their music is a unique blend of several genres, and their live sets contain mostly original tunes varying from fast and virtuosic to subdued and beautiful. Their recent projects include the completion of their new record, “Infrastructure,” due out in June 2009, and a foray into film scoring (“It Was Great But I Was Ready to Come Home,” dir. Kris Swanberg, and “Silver Bullets,” dir. Joe Swanberg).
