Sounds Like"the orphan children of a traditional string band and The Velvet Underground."
moors magazine - The Netherlands

Press & Reviews:

"Right from the sublime opener, it is clear the group possesses something special...Pretty Polly is one of the most compelling folkrock songs we have heard so far this year. "...no one can deny this is one of the most exciting/enthusiastic folkrock cds of recent times".
Eric van Domberg Scipio - editor Heaven Magazine The Netherlands

"where adventure meets tradition......mouthwatering Americana..beautiful, beautiful"
www.moorsmagazine.nl The Netherlands

"one question applies...do you like it or not. In the case of "A Romance of Ghosts" the answer is a resounding YES! ....a very delicious mixture of beautiful melodies and arrangements...a pure, dark and violent tale.....in short: a high quality, mysterious and curious album."
Real Roots Cafe - The Netherlands

"one of New Mexico's most exciting acts...Bone Orchard symbolizes the romantic spirit of the west...and finds the hidden beauty amongst the sand and the stones."
The Santa Fe Reporter-Gabe Gomez

"rock and roll folk with a Celtic twist with fabulous ballads sure to draw you in, shedding light on the darker sides of life. Besides that, they're great fun!"
Wildwood Sounds House Concerts - Konnie and Stephen

"beautiful contrasts.....a must have"
www.altcountry.nl The Netherlands

....like the strange cousin of folk music that grew up on equal parts Joy Division and Hank Williams.....Marry that to the quiet strength and grandeur (the gravitas, if you will) of the compositions and you have songs to accompany the sun setting behind the Rockies as seen from the porch of a house abandoned before your grandfather was born. Lovely.
Jordn Block of www.sephiachord.com

"tight harmonies and musicians who are truly attuned to each other..will have you toe tapping and humming along"
New Mexico Magazine- Emily Drabanski

   About Bone Orchard
Hailed by "The Santa Fe Reporter" as "one of New Mexico's most exciting acts", Bone Orchard captures both the darkness and allure of the American Mythos. Their music is a journey down the route 66 of legend as it might have been had it started in rural Appalachia and detoured through the wild streets of Deadwood.

Drawing from traditional Appalachian influences, as well as 20th. century post-punk, Bone Orchard blends acoustic and electric guitars, banjo and mandolin to create a cinematic original sound of haunted beauty and purity, much like the wind swept mesas and wide blue skies of their hometown of Taos, New Mexico. Their songs are at turns rollicking and mournful, gentle and violent, exhibiting rich vocal harmonies that soothe, all the while spinning dark and desperate tales that make you shiver. Bone Orchard concocts a delicious musical brew you'll want to gulp down.... intoxicating and a little dangerous.

Daniel Pretends Eagle and Carol Morgan-Eagle are the heart and marrow of Bone Orchard creating and producing all their own music. Yes, Daniel Pretends Eagle is his real name given to him by his father of the same name who is a Lakota Sioux Indian of Standing Rock reservation and the Winnebago Reservation. Show business runs in the family as his Sioux great Uncle was a performer with the Wild Buffalo Bill Show at the turn of the century. Daniel’s love of music was engendered at the tender age of three on a Mississippi riverboat. His mother worked as a cocktail waitress on a paddle wheeler that plied the shores of St. Louis, Missouri, where, in an effort to keep him out of trouble, the house band would arm Daniel with a pair of brushes and put him behind the drum set. Years later, Daniel found himself in LA where he studied with a reclusive master of the electric guitar high in the Hollywood Hills. It was here that he was first exposed to the wild and innovative roots music of artists like X, The Divine Horseman, Rank and File and The Gun Club. He fell in love with the genre and began forging his own uniquely American soundscape, a haunting alchemy of punk rock and Appalachian murder ballads—of Sam Shepard, Cormac McCarthy and Edgar Allen Poe forming the band "The Peckinpahs" (after Sam Peckinpah) and playing all the usual haunts of the Los Angeles music scene.

Carol also began her performing career at an early age. She was five when she began vocal lessons and studying Scottish Highland dancing in which she was soon competing seriously winning many trophies and medals. Her skill as a dancer and an inherent flair for the dramatic earning her appearances at the Scottish National Championships, the opening ceremonies of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, dancing in Brigadoon, King and I, as well as, too numerous to tell, many other stage appearances. Her family's enjoyment of old ghost towns as vacation spots and her love of singing and dancing led to Carol's recognition of a past life as a Nevada dance hall girl and contributed to her enthrallment of some of the more macabre aspects of the Old West. Carol was exposed to the wild underground music scene of Los Angeles when she attended a friends boyfriend's band rehearsal in a old hotel room of which band turned out to be "X". From there it was a fast and exciting slide down into the seamy world of rock and roll.

Daniel and Carol's talents merged when they met at a tender age in Los Angeles and discovered a amazingly similar appreciation of the same music as well as a passion for club hopping from whence they spent many a pleasant hour in the fascinating underground music world of L.A.

Carol, Daniel & their dog Huckleberry (from Doc Holliday in the movie "Tombstone" not the cartoon) share a home in the Sangre de Cristo mountains above Taos, New Mexico.
