the Orsons

Bio:

Three songwriters from three different backgrounds converge to form an amalgamation of lyrical imagery, instrumental sensitivity, and heartfelt performance. Tex Santos, Chris "DJ Gristle" Steude, and The Captain Chas (or Chas) arrived upon each other sharing the same connections with the others' music; and found in each other the muse needed to produce something both spontaneous and poignant. DJ Gristle unleashes his unending stream of creative song production. Tex Santos brings his gift for overarching and relevant imagery to the table. The Captain Chas adds instrumental meat and lyrical wit. Combined, the Orsons strive to compliment each others' styles and produce something truly worthwhile.
