Orphan Jon and The Abandoned Two Oregon Shows – 6/16 & 6/18

California’s Orphan Jon and The Abandoned is an American roots and blues band, with a wide variety of originals and covers. When you see them live they bring an energy and passion that you will experience both musically and visually. They are a band that totally captures the essence of what the blues is all about: hard work, rough life, grinding days, moving souls, touching hearts, and heartfelt love, and everyday living through their music.

In his body language, lyrics and vocals, frontman “Orphan Jon” English can be moving, emotional, heartfelt, and intense at one point, then soothing, soulful, lustful, and desiring at another. The Abandoned is completed by the harmonious and rhythmic guitar work of Bruce Krupnik, the steady uplifting bass drive of Will Anderson, and the captivating dynamics of drummer Tanner Byrom

“A must see, a must hear band that is turning heads everywhere they perform”- Al Factorman, Los Angeles blues historian
