Ann Arbor quintet Orpheum Bell self-describes their music as “Country and Eastern” – a mix of Balkan gypsy and traditional country with folk music influences. Their latest release Pearls features banjo, accordion, trumpet, soprano trombone, shepherd harp, musical saw, a suitcase pump organ, cittern, guitar and dobro, double bass, foot percussion and ukulele, culminating in another lovely album of rich lullabies, duets, stomps, rustic ballads, and gypsy waltzes. Orpheum Bell is unique, fresh and captivating; a band not to be missed by traditional music fans. – Written by JFelton
