Black Orchard

About Me

“Electric”, “Total package”, and “Intriguing” are just a few adjectives that come to mind when you think of Black Orchard. A fusion band based out of Chicago who’s soul purpose is to make timeless music. The band was started by Harold and U.G.L.Y, the two male vocals of the group, in the den of Harold’s house. “It all started with U.G.L.Y and I wanting to do something different outside of our usually spoken word”, says Harold. They began searching for band members and started off with just the drummer, Styles, and themselves on stage. After one rehearsal with Torri (female vocal), Sharay(bass),Chris (sax), and Aum Mu Ra (guitar) the band was formed and has been performing ever since.Black Orchard brings excitement, originality, and range to music. Black Orchard says they make infinite music, which means they have an abundance of genre influences and make music that they feel can last past tomorrow’s top twenty list. Black Orchard has performed all across Chicago and plan to tour soon. The easiest way to recognize the Black Orchard effect is to see them live. Men, women, and children alike find something within this band that feels like home. You can never say they remind you of.........

Member Since: 24/03/2007
Band Members: Styles (drummer) has been playing for fifteen years and is inspired by church, jazz, rock, and hip hop music. Sharay (bass) international king on them bass strings. Aum Mu Ra (guitar) has been playing for twenty plus years and inspired by jazz, soul, rock, and R&B. Newest member Chris (sax) is influenced from jazz to gospel and has been playing over ten years. These four musical masterminds never played together before Black Orchard, but everyone who hears them including their own band mates say the sound is so cohesive you would have imagined they grew up playing garage parties together. Torri the songstress of the band is said to bring balance in an energy driven extravaganza. Torri not only has national acclaim, but also has traveled abroad to exploit her talents. U.G.L.Y is said to be the lightning bolt of the band, because at any given moment he may go from the floor, to the air, and then across the stage all before the hook has finished! U.G.L.Y is a heralded spoken word artist and producer who’s talents has taken him from Chicago to Prague. Harold is labeled as the laid back member of the band. Harold is also an accredited spoken word artist and playwright. One of the bright spots of Black Orchard as a band is that they have three writers, seven composers, and seven arrangers which means it will be quite hard to run out of material.
