“Cobbles together jazz, classical, and American roots into a
kind of maverick chamber music.”
-- MINNEAPOLIS CITY PAGES
“Delightfully adventurous…sometimes playful, sometimes
dark, sometimes airy, always fascinating.”
-- PULSE OF THE TWIN CITIES
“One of my favorite new discoveries in the music scene is
The Orange Mighty Trio, who literally meld and fuse
elements of folk, and bluegrass, and even classical
chamber music into something completely new.”
-- MARK WHEAT OF 89.3 THE CURRENT
“OMT meanders happily through jazz and chamber-music
styles that would make the group equally at home
playing the Dakota, guesting with the Minnesota
Orchestra or playing at a county fair.”
-- THE ONION
“Combines mountainy roots music with urban jazz and hints
of classical, careening between beautiful, bold, and a bit
of bombast.”
-- MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
“An intriguing fusion of contemporary chamber music with
American roots music”
-- ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
“This is a highly spirited group of musicians on their way to
a bright future.”

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).
