Orson & The Rosebuds

A grand unified theory of restless rock n’ roll echoes, old-school grooves, and optimistic indie-pop bops. Orson & the Rosebuds is Christian DeKnatel, Tessa Berliner, Tim Orth, and Nick Smith

Christian formulated Orson between physics classes, jotting down lyrics alongside coffee-stained Schrödinger equations. After meeting him in a college production of Green Day’s American Idiot, Tessa joined the band with Christian’s roommates — jazz/funk jammers Nick & Tim — to put on energetic and earnestly eager rock performances in the Boston and NY areas. Evolving from the wholesome origins of their collaborative debut album and lo-fi/live album sequel, O&tR now spiritedly venture into systems of orientation, reality, and reaction as they record their upcoming LP, When Up is Down.
