The Lost and Nameless Orchestra channels music that moves dancers' feet and provokes smiles and raised glasses, no matter where they play. Equally at home in a bar, at a contra dance, or at a banquet reception, their rich sound fills hearts and souls all around.
Chris Peterson // Patrick Conway // Harmoni Kelley // Nathan Quiring // Joe Molloy // Kimberly Zielnicki // Win Bent
Founders Chris E. Peterson and Patrick Conway have been playing together since 1993, when they met in St. Louis, Missouri. They formed an immediate bond, playing traditional fiddle tunes and writing and recording their own compositions. Their obvious path was to become a busking duo in Europe in 1994 - hey, why not? Their travels together took them as far North in Europe to Karlstad, Sweden, to Prague, to Amsterdam, and all over Germany. Upon Patrick's move to Austin in 2006, they determined to form an insanely great live band, one that could easily handle Americana / Folk-Rock / Traditional Fiddle Music / Singer-Songwriter styles, and more. They expanded the group, and expanded again, and have stabilized for now on seven key musicians... but guests do show up from time to time! Yet their sound and style holds true, whether performing as a trio or as the full "orchestra."

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola...
