Next First Thursday, July 2nd!!

Meet the Band: Sumthing Orange!

“Sumthing Orange is a band that makes music fusing genres like rock and funk emerging from Lake City, South Carolina. Consisting of Lefty on guitar, BG on bass and Solé on keyboard, the band combines tight grooves and energetic performances to create music that feels fresh while drawing inspiration from classic rock rhythms and modern indie influences.
Sumthing Orange works to further push the narrative that black creatives can thrive in every medium which they express through their sound and style.”

Don’t miss this band on the rise!
