Chicago Barn Rock Band The Orchard On Latest Release ‘County Fair’

The four members of Chicago band The Orchard all met in high school. It wasn’t until their college years that they started to play music together. The group practiced and covered songs by artists like Velvet Underground in a barn near a friend’s orchard, hence the name of the band. They are inspired by the sounds of ‘50s country and classic Americana, describing its sound as “barn rock.” You can get a taste of that barn rock in The Orchard’s latest EP ‘County Fair.’ Reset sits down with the band.
