Houston Blues Legend, The Mighty Orq will be playing at Home Sweet Farm Biergarten in Brenham, Texas on March 18. Winston Cook will be opening the show and will hit the stage at 8:30 pm.

The Mighty Orq is one of Texas’s most exceptional and hardest working talents. Born in Houston, Orq has a sound that is as diverse and unique as his hometown. His performances include songs spanning numerous genres of music including folk, blues, jazz, rock and roll, and even hints of zydeco.

Long known as a stand-out singer and guitarist, Orq has matured both as a writer and arranger as heard on his 2016 release, “Love In A Hurricane,” and as a solo performer on his 2019 album “Solo at the Bugle Boy,” a live album recorded at the famed central Texas listening room and released on YAWP Records.

​

During the pandemic Orq developed a live streaming series called The Stay at Home Sessions, that allowed him to continue performing. The concert series became a staple of Mighty Orq fans, and hosted Texas music greats such as SHINYRIBS, Guy Forsyth, and New Orleans harmonica virtuoso, Jason Ricci. Orq continues to perform throughout the region and is currently recording a new album set for release in 2023. ​DISCOGRAPHY Solo at the Bugle Boy – 2019 Love In A Hurricane – 2016 Delta Blues Guitar (DVD) – 2014 Soulful City – 2013 Lost In Germany – 2011 To The Bone – 2008 Milk Money – 2005 Ghost Train: Live at The Big Easy – 2004 Prayer Book – 2003
