Ensemble Theatre Company at The New Vic
33 W. Victoria Street in Santa Barbara 

Country superstar Orville Peck was interviewed by Tomás Mier as part of the GRAMMY Museum‘s The Drop program. This exclusive event took place on Tuesday Sep 17, 2024. It was an intimate conversation with Orville, where he talked about his beginnings in the music industry, his passion for country music, and his collaborations with other music stars. The event included a live acoustic performance by Orville, with an inspiring orange Harvest Moon shining in the sky and LA’s colorful downtown in the background.

Orville went over his beginnings, when he toured nonstop for 15 years for practically no money. His passion for music kept him going until he achieved the success and recognition he currently enjoys. He also mentioned his experiences collaborating with established and upcoming stars such as legend Willie Nelson, Kylie Minogue, and Noah Cyrus, among others.

With his impressive and alluring vocal range, Orville’s music has the nostalgic sound of the 60s and 70s, and his evocative voice and magnetic presence bring memories of an ebullient and captivating Elvis Presley. One of the hottest country stars out there, Orville is poised to become a trailblazer as one of the few openly gay singers in the scene, mirroring the winds of change in country music, a genre that is becoming more open to alternative voices.

Orville Peck continues to create and push boundaries in country music and beyond. Expect more surprises coming up and don’t miss the opportunity to experience the sensual and powerful voice of one of the most iconic superstars in the music scene today.

 A Noise Within continues commitment to August Wilson’s ‘American Century Cycle’ with ‘The Piano Lesson’ 

WHAT:
A Noise Within continues its commitment to August Wilson’s “American Century Cycle” with The Piano Lesson, the fourth play in Wilson’s extraordinary 10-play cycle that explores the Black experience in 20th century America decade-by decade. A captivating story about legacy, identity and cultural heritage unfolds in 1930s Pittsburgh, where a brother and sister are locked in a bitter dispute. At the center of their debate is a precious family heirloom—a piano with the faces of their ancestors carved into it. While one sees an important history worth preserving, the other sees the key to unlocking a brighter future. In Wilson’s enthralling prose, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play weaves together elements of history and spirituality, creating a haunting story about reckoning with a complicated past.
