“We host people to play music,” drummer Morgan Huff says. “And give them a friendly environment with enough surprises to make it interesting, but with enough of a guard rail so that people feel safe.”
For the past two years, Huff and longtime musical partner Tom Illmensee have been facilitating “pop-up” musical jams under the Orbital banner,. “At first, we wanted to set up kind of a dating site for musicians, but instead of romance, it was bongos,” Illmensee says. “We soon realized that it had to be a face-to-face thing, a place where people can relax and kind of hang out.”
Orbital now have a permanent home where they can make noise. My latest feature for Richmond Magazine tells you all about it. Get in tune with Orbital Music Park by going right here.
