After a decade of putting out albums and touring, Nebraskan singer-songwriter Orion Walsh will release "The Foreigner" EP with Indie Vision Music. Full of fun songs & storytelling, this is truly a mature step forward for this well-traveled troubadour. Walsh has previously released 7 albums with independent labels Sower Records & the Hunter Records, including "The Hitchhiker's Son" produced by AJ Mogis (Bright Eyes, Cursive). He also released two full length albums with his band Slow Coming Day (Tooth & Nail Records). His accomplishments include releasing several songs for multiple compilations as well.
Walsh has been touring for over a decade and has performed over 1,000 concerts all over the United States as well as multiple tours to Europe both as a solo artist and with his band. Orion has opened up for artists in the past such as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, David Dondero, Mae, David Bazan, The Mynabirds, Wayne Hancock, Matt Focht, etc. Several of his songs have been used on television and independent films in the past, the most noteworthy being on "America's Next Top Model" of international fame. Expect to see more from this free-spirited traveler and songwriter in the years to come.
"The Foreigner" Ep takes listeners on a journey, period. Whether that may be cross country, a journey that leads one internationally, or maybe just a trip in one's own backyard. Simply put, this is a collection of songs that will move you and get you moving. Relevant songs for the world we live in and a hopeful reminder of the happiness that comes from contentment.
