Orange
Grove
The Orange Grove sound is a musical melting
pot of cross-ocean influences combining the sounds of Reggae
music with zouk, ska, rap and rock, complimented by lead-singer
Michael Maidwell’s rough yet tough voice. These elements
combined with a group of 5 professional musicians.
Their long-awaited official debut Album was released in
2007, featuring new unique OG melodies in addition to some
of the classic Orange Grove songs.
In the past year Orange Grove has been playing in their
new and solid formation gaining a reputation of a highly
professional band ensuring any crowd to be unable to resist
moving to their lively performance.
The music seems to strike a chord with a very broad audience.
As all the musicians are originally from the Caribbean region
the music can be defined as Caribbean crossover, however
some prefer to call it alternative reggae.
Orange Grove performed in many popular venues in Holland
including: Paradiso, Melkweg, 013, Effenaar, 't Paard van
Troje, Nighttown, de Doelen, Spek Festival, Heineken Regatta
in St. Maarten, Heineken Music Festival In Barbados and
on July 25th they will be performing at Brakkeput Mei Mei!
