Personalities | Orson | Twenty-First Century | Rock

(Vocal/instrumental group, 2000–present)

Hollywood’s Orson – Jason Pebworth (vocals), George Astasio (guitar), Kevin Roentgen (guitar), Johnny Lonely (bass) and Chris Cano (drums) – slaved away at the club gig circuit for five years before an appearance at the UK’s In The City festival scored a Universal deal. Pebworth hails from a theatrical background, clearly evidenced by his non-rock vocal delivery. The band claim to always wear hats as a nod to the forgotten film history of their hometown. Their name is also a tribute to cinematography, via Orson Welles.
