ORANGE BLUES 24

Synopsis
One man seeks refuge from the world’s crazy in the arms of his muse — the love of his life! Alyssa Dann has taken this tongue-in-cheek Blues piece and brought it to life in a charming manner.
“Almost everyone around the world deals daily with the insanity of Trumpocracy,” says composer and lead vocalist Chris Oledude. “As an artist, my job is to acknowledge the oppressive and depressing nature of the former President’s behavior and policies, but I have to do it through the lens of the Blues writers and performers who have done this for years.”
Oledude highlights the human condition when discussing “Orange Blues”: “When we’re upset, we need to be comforted. Hugs work really well! Kisses can be extremely effective! I am channeling that crisis-grounded need for physical love that we are all experiencing right now.”
“I need desire’s fire to burn through those orange blues!”
” ‘Orange Blues’ is a tribute to every man and woman who feels overwhelmed these days. Between COVID-19 and Trumpocracy, there was plenty of stress for all. As we have learned in the most dramatic manner, however, our message must be clear: Trumpocracy must go; but whether it disappears or not, WE will endure, survive and prove victorious.”
