"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! 8.11.2026 Howdy, friends! Firstly, I'm honored to be featured in Houstonia Magazine. This is a beautiful piece written by the exquisitely talented Elisabeth C. Parks (a snipit of whose work you can also read below on this very page!) She wrote a wonderful article full of generosity and insight. I'm deeply grateful for such a careful consideration of my musical exploits thus far, and I've posted the link to the upper left of this writing for your perusal. To celebrate this joyous moment I'm taking the show to downtown Houston tonight! I'll be performing at the legendary La Carafe in Market Square for a wonderful songwriter series hosted by Jimmy Pizzitola. Downbeat is upstairs at 8:00pm, and I hope you can join us for some music and fun. Tremendous thanks to Elisabeth, Houstonia Magazine, and all of you for your continued kindness, friendship, and support. Ever grateful and ever yours - Orq
