The Dear Orphans music embraces the simplicity of life while connecting with the bare the bones of the human
condition. The band comprises singer-songwriters Nick Payne and Lyn Dearling-Taylor, along with Mike
Kirkley on pedal steel, “a big influence on our sound” according to Nick. Dear Orphans are also sometimes
accompanied by clawhammer banjoist, Richard Galluzzi. “Our music persists in a way that other music
doesn't. It has the ability to stick with you for a long time. We are influenced by traditional bluegrass,” says Nick.

Dear Orphens are distributed digitally to the world by Blue Pie.
