Magic Orange

About Me

Based in New York City, the members of Magic Orange come together in collaboration to combine the diverse influences of rock, jazz, blues, and several other genres in order to create a sound that uniquely differs from most of today’s mainstream music. With the fusion of a traditional rock rhythm section combined with the jazzed-up integration of keyboard and saxophone, fronted by powerful lead vocals and dynamic background harmonies, Magic Orange’s songs provide the listener with driving beats, catchy melodies, curious lyrics, and out-of-this-world solo sections - all combined to create an addictive blend that sets them apart from other bands. In 2006, they self-released their debut EP Segments, followed up by their sophomore recording, Second Dose, in 2007. Both compilations are available on all major music download sites including Apple iTunes, Napster, Amazon, MSN Music, Sony Connect, and Rhapsody.
