THE ORCHARD RELEASES LATEST SINGLE – YOUR STORY
Your Story is a song that has been with us essentially right from the beginning.
It was one of the first songs that we ever wrote and only finally did a full band recording on this current album. We grew into more reasons to love this song as we’ve continued to develop our sound and music. I think the reason this song has such a resonating quality is because it’s so real and relatable. There are always hard times…sometimes someone else gets to be the light that helps you find your way through those dark times, and sometimes you get to be that person. This song really speaks to the power of listening and caring for others and how it influences your own life. – Kasha Anne
Probably my favourite ballad we’ve ever written. Not every song is autobiographical, but this one certainly is. We hope this song strikes a chord in your heart, the way it does for us every time we perform it. – Mitch Smith

The Orchard – BRIGHT EYES (The Dakota Tavern – Toronto, ON)

Acclaimed Country/Pop Duo The Orchard Issue Song of the Summer with “Bright Eyes”
The sparkling track is the second single from Kasha Anne and Mitch Smith’s most recent album, The Great Unknown, and kicks off a busy season of live dates…
Make space on your seasonal playlist. While The Orchard – a.k.a. singing/songwriting duo Kasha Anne and Mitch Smith – are well known for crafting brilliantly accessible, lyrically driven songs best described as “a cosmic blend of rock, country and pop” – the sheer lustre and lyrical heft of “Bright Eyes” is terrifically new.The song “encourages you to live in the moment and be more optimistic,” vocalist Kasha Anne offers, “which is something we all need from time to time.”
Adds Smith, “’Bright Eyes’ showcases a rocking groove by our killer band with lots of fun guitar parts. It’s probably one of our most energetic singles, and it always gets people on their feet!”
Indeed, the track was a favourite of The Great Unknown producer Jim Scott whose sprawling CV includes work with everyone from Wilco to Tedeschi Trucks Band, Tom Petty to the Foo Fighters. Scott knows a bona fide smash when he hears one.
“Jim Scott loved it so much that we had to find a home for it on the album,” Smith confirms. “Plus, it shows yet another side of Kasha’s voice. The lyrics touch on the strength and courage it takes to go it alone, and to hold out for a better tomorrow. Appropriate timing for this song in so many ways…”
“Bright Eyes” follows first single “Sometimes I Wonder,” which heralded The Great Unknown’s arrival to universal praise this spring. Now, as the affable Alberta duo prepares for a hectic summer of touring (scroll down for a complete itinerary), the effervescent, guitar-goosed “Bright Eyes” is poised to soar on patios and poolside from coast to coast.Says Kasha Anne, “Between the instruments and vocals, there are enough catchy moments in this song that each time you listen you find something new!”

THE ORCHARD – DREAM INSIDE A DREAM

THE ORCHARD’S NEW ALBUM – THE GREAT UNKNOWN NOW AVAILABLE
Kasha Anne and Mitch Smith, the singer/songwriter duo better known as The Orchard, couldn’t have picked a better title for their brand new album than The Great Unknown. After making an indelible impression on Canada’s country music scene with their first two records, the Alberta natives instinctively knew heading into their third release that change was imminent.
But what would that change entail? New sounds? A new producer? A new approach to writing and recording? All of the above, as it turns out.
Led by the anthemic first single “Sometimes I Wonder”, The Great Unknown is a cosmic blend of rock, country and pop. It’s a vision the pair had from the beginning of completely ignoring genre definitions and just doing what came naturally. Still, they needed a trusted hand to guide them in the studio, and there was no one better to ask than producer Jim Scott (Tedeschi Trucks Band, Marcus King Band).
The results reveal The Orchard’s true identity for the first time, a songwriting partnership, and band, able to bring together music fans of all types through their fresh and exciting sound.
