Downtown Thursday Nights 2019: Orchard Fire

The second in Tomah Chamber and Visitors Center's lineup for Downtown Thursday Nights is Orchard Fire out of Columbia, MO. Their sound is incredible and they play many covers from Fleetwood Mac to John Anderson. They've played on the famous, Tootsie's Lounge Stage in Nashville and toured all over the states. I encourage you to enjoy their covers as well as their amazing original music!

Orchard Fire is one of the hardest working independent bands in the music business playing 270 shows in 20 states since June of 2017. Their highly anticipated sophomore Ep "The Temperance Sessions", recorded by Jared Conrad at CTM Studios on music row in Nashville Tennessee was released on September, 7th 2018.

The heart of this band are the songs. Songs that when stripped down to just Melissa Odom's expressive alto, her acoustic guitar, the fiddle, and the mandolin, are patently country, almost bluegrass at times. Songs that tell stories of love and life in full color. The ringing, crunchy guitar work of Justin Odom and the big pocket drumming of his brother Jared Odom transport the tunes from campfire to pumping rock club. It's a fresh and inspiring sound.

Downtown Thursday Nights will also feature food and drink vendors and a Kids Zone featuring bounce houses, a face painter and a caricaturist. Downtown Thursday Nights is the event to hear great music, have dinner and a drink, bring the kids out to play, and meet up with old neighbors and new friends.
