Back pOrchEstra

**Back pOrchEstra** is the San Francisco Bay Area roots music crew led by **Tim Eschliman** on vocals and resonator guitar—you might know him from stints with Etta James, Commander Cody & His Western Airmen, and New Copasetics—alongside **Bowen Brown** on fiddle (he's worked with John Lee Hooker and more), with occasional additions like drummer **Candy Girard**, bassist **Beau Bradbury**, and others.

Born out of the pandemic when Tim's other bands couldn't gig, they kicked off with stripped-down livestreams blending **country blues, Western swing, Cajun, folk, and singer-songwriter vibes** for that rich acoustic feel. Drawing from Tim's Ohio roots and SF adventures—like early influences from local DJ Clean Gene spinning rare R&B—they've dropped cool tracks like **"Voices in My Head (Genre Whiplash)"**, **"Believe I Belong"**, **"Just Fall in Love (Remix)"**, and **"If I Ever See You Again (Remix)"**, capturing everything from trailer-park dreams to pandemic reunion longings.
