SteamCOG Orchestra – Live @ the PinChurch – 3/9/23

steamcog3 The New Orleans Steamcog Orchestra combines the sound of traditional New Orleans music from the 1910’s, with steampunk good looks and cutting edge technology. Led by ‘thousandaire’ philanthropist and n’er-do-well Prof. Pinkerton and his granddaughter Formelda Hyde-Pinkerton on vocals, the group sports a full horn section as well as xylophone, upright bass, and a variety of other intriguing instruments.

A full exhibition of the technology behind the group’s mechanical clockwork drummer will follow the music, which will include lots of crowd pleasing foxtrots, waltzes, and if you’re lucky, some jump blues and latin dance rhythms. Bring your dancing shoes!

steamcog2 The New Orleans Steamcog Orchestra is a Dixieland/Ragtime band with a difference! Male & female singers mix with trumpet, trombone, clarinet, xylophone, upright bass, piano & banjo. With the steady beat provided by ‘COGSWORTHY’ our amazing clockwork drummer, we provide an instant ‘turn of the century’ party for any occasion. The Steamcog Orchestra combines authentic and danceable brass sounds with a hip, humorous, appealing retro visual style that evoke old-world New Orleans.
