Episode 166: The Mighty Orq




SlapperCast show

Summary: <p>At long last, this week we're joined by our old friend the Mighty Orq, brilliant guitar player, songwriter, and tremendously talented vocalist who has been all over the Houston music scene for decades. Blaggards have been honored to share the stage with Orq and his band many times in the past and it is an absolute thrill to finally have him on the show. We talk about Orq's influences, songwriting, how his latest live album came together, and what's coming up next for his band.</p> <p>Orq is also a brilliant photographer and did our latest promo shots, but we didn't get around to talking about that this time. Not to worry, he will be back!</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.mightyorq.com" rel="nofollow">themightyorq.com </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/TheMightyOrq" rel="nofollow">The Mighty Orq on YouTube </a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/nAdZBPuK3Ro" rel="nofollow">"Sweet in Between" — the Mighty Orq (YouTube)</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6a3I3lYN8jRSkyh5YD29p3?si=MnD4By4cTt2nJ-hvp_Wkjw" rel="nofollow">Solo at the Bugle Boy — the Mighty Orq (Spotify)</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tmophotography.com" rel="nofollow">TMO Photography</a></li> </ul> <h3>Show dates</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://blaggards.com/shows/" rel="nofollow">Blaggards.com</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/blaggards/events/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bandsintown.com/a/3808" rel="nofollow">Bandsintown</a></li> </ul> <h3>Follow us on social media</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/blaggards/" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/blaggards/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <h3>Become a Patron</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">Join Blaggards on Patreon</a> for bonus podcast content, live tracks, rough mixes, and other exclusives.</li> </ul> <h3>Rate us</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slappercast-a-weekly-talk-show-with-blaggards/id1452061331" rel="nofollow">Rate and review SlapperCast on iTunes</a> </li> </ul> <h3>Questions?</h3> <p>If you have questions for a future Q&amp;A episode, </p> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">leave a comment on Patreon</a>, or </li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/blaggards" rel="nofollow">tweet them to us</a> with the hashtag <strong>#slappercast</strong>.</li> </ul><p>Special Guest: The Mighty Orq.</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/blaggards" rel="payment">Support SlapperCast</a></p>
