Marina Orchestra

**Marina Orchestra** is a New Orleans-born indie folk collective that’s been crafting their signature "swamp pop" sound since forming in 2013. Known for their raucous live energy and communal spirit, the band blends Southern storytelling with eclectic instrumentation—think banjos, horns, and psychedelic grooves—to create music that feels like a backyard party on a humid Louisiana night. Their 2019 debut album *Music Is Medicine* showcased their knack for pairing introspective lyrics with danceable rhythms, a vibe that carries through newer releases like the laid-back anthem "Not Too Worried About It" and the tropical-tinged "Talk of the Town '23."

With members including Judson Marriott, Michael Cerveris, and Charlie Rohlf, Marina Orchestra embraces a DIY ethos, often trading instruments mid-set and collaborating with local artists (as heard on the KB’s Remix of "Down with That"). Their work nods to Southern traditions while feeling refreshingly modern—a sound that’s earned them slots at festivals like Jazz Fest and tours with acts like The Revivalists. Whether they’re spinning tales about roadside bars or existential daydreams, Marina Orchestra keeps the good times rolling.
