Orillia at Bantha Tea Bar

Under his moniker Orillia, Andrew Marczak follows the long tradition of country music’s more progressive stewards, commanding audiences with his unique bracing tenor and skeletal arrangements.  His debut self-titled record, which was tracked completely live, acoustic, and straight to tape at Jamdek Recording Studios in his hometown of Chicago, marries the quotidian poetry of Sam Shepard with the direct, otherworldly twang of Sparklehorse.
With his various projects, including the now-defunct Roof Dogs (Earth Libraries), Andrew has shared stages with artists like dehd, Richard Lloyd (of Television), Lavender Country, Country Westerns, Tobacco City, shame, Vundabar, hemlock, and comedian Fred Armisen. He performed at Spencer Tweedy's Avrom Farm Party in 2024 and has been a part of the storied Cosmic Country Showcase in Chicago. His song "No One" was featured on the soundtrack of the film Poser, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2021.
