About Me

..

The Rich Whiskey is an amalgam of three lifelong musicians and numerous influences. Their sound encompasses rock, funk, jazz, and more. Formed in 2006 The Rich Whiskey has been performing since their inception.

Jon Wade studyed music at Christopher Newport University and has lent his prolific drumming skills to The Smith-Wade Band, Hughnormous Jazz Band, Groove Nation, and entertained as a musician on Carnival Cruise Lines. Michael and Scott Orlando are brothers who were raised in a musical family and have been playing music together since childhood. Scott's solid bass playing and Michael's inspired guitar work have been the center of Ozone Patch, and The Bee's Knees with Jon Wade.

Michael, Scott and Jon toured in the summer of 2006 as the rhythm section for the Godspeed Sail shows, in collaboration with the country's four-hundredth anniversary. In may of 2007, all four will be performing for the main Anniversary Weekend celebrations in Jamestown, Virginia. These four spirited musicians have come together to give you a unique and intensely energetic musical experience.
