The team at Farmer Phil’s Festival are delighted to confirm THE OUTLAW ORCHESTRA as our first artist announcement for 2024.
Three accomplished musicians from the south coast of the UK exuding the Saturday night hell raising escapism of the weekend. Dubbed ‘Heavy Grass’ by one DJ due to the combination of Hard Rock meets Country twang but maybe most accurate would be as suggested by another radio station: The Outlaw Orchestra ~ The love child of Motorhead and Johnny Cash!
The Outlaws are at home in at a bike festival, an arts centre, a steamy rock bar or a country stage and can adjust the volume accordingly. Slide guitar, Pedal Steel guitar, Banjo, gravel vocals and solid thumping drums delivering original catchy hard rocking songs about everyday life laced with deep south spirits and delivered with a British rock n Roll sense of humour.
They drew the biggest crowd ever at Ramblin Man’s Rising stage. They pulled the largest outdoor crowd at Custom Rock n Blues Bike festival since Motorhead. Invited countless times to grace the Sheffield 02 stage, Sheffield Bowl and Planet Rock stages. They have supported Skid Row, The Dead Daisies, The Darkness, Brothers Osbourne, Phil Campbell of Motorhead on tour, Reef, The Kentucky Headhunters and so many more.
The constant on the road hard work has paid off with weekly air time of Planet Rock Radio, BBC Introducing, countless online radio stations and hitting the pages of Hard Rock Hell magazine, Metal Planet, Emerging Rock bands and Powerplay Magazine.
The records demonstrate musical ability and clever song writing but it’s live that they thrive putting on a show wherever they play, pulling the audience in and ensuring a wild night for everyone, no better demonstrated by pulling the largest queue to a merchandise stand ever at Planet Rock’s Winters End festival selling out all merchandise within an hour.
The outlaw Orchestra will leave you with a sore foot from stamping, a sore face from grinning and some devilish Outlaw in your blood.
