"The Mighty Orq stands flat-foot and delivers... with everything he plays."
- Ray Wylie Hubbard
"Tune in and dig it - I dig The Mighty Orq. The Mighty Orq is Mighty Fine, Mighty Fine."
- Shinyribs
"Pure Texas."
- Martin Sexton
The Mighty Orq is so many things. He is bayou blues in a suit and tie. He’s gritty folk storytelling, unfurling from under an open road Stetson. He’s swampy juke joint fun, mischievous and free. He is classical virtuosity, improvised on a cigar box guitar. He is growling rock-and-roll. Critics and audiences have known and loved the Houston-based Orq for decades now. His fanbase is loyal, international, and always growing, thanks not just to his albums, but to consistent touring throughout the US and Europe. On his 9th album Stolen, Orq proves his wild exploration of roots music remains a gift to the rest of us. - Elisabeth C. Parks
NEWS & UPDATES! 7.30.2025 Friends, it's been a whirlwind. We've been rollicking and frolicking all over Texas the last few months with some very fine musicians and people. We want to thank Ian Moore, The Heights Theater in Houston, The Kessler Theater in Dallas, Axelrad, Meow Wolf, The Volcano, and most recently and especially, the awesome folks at Viva Big Bend Festival for such a wonderful summer so far. We've had a ball, and are looking forward to another month of hot tunes, hot shows, and air conditioned venues. With that in mid we'll be back in Central TX this weekend at The Bugle Boy on Friday night and Gruene Hall Saturday afternoon. Also I'm thrilled to begin a monthly residenct at Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe in Galveston starting at the end of August. This show will feature special guests every month primarily in the Blues vein, and I cannot wait to share this music with the folks on the Island. Be sure to keep an eye on the calendar, and we look forward to seeing you in the coming days and weeks. Cheers, Y'all!
