Orville Peck
Orville Peck is a country recording artist and songwriter known for his deep baritone voice, strong musicianship and songs that are sincere yet bold in their storytelling. Never confirming his identity, Orville, who is openly gay and lived an itinerant life across South Africa, is never seen without his signature, fringed mask.
Following the release of his self-produced debut album Pony in 2019, Orville signed with Columbia Records and released his Show Pony EP. Released to immediate critical acclaim early last year, the EP features a duet with global icon Shania Twain and puts Orville’s triumphant songwriting skills and intentional craftmanship on full display. He then followed that up with BRONCO, which he released in chapters, alongside a multitude of cinematic videos. He was also hand selected by Lady Gaga for her Born This Way 10th Anniversary album.
Stampede marks country superstar Orville Peck ‘s third studio album following 2019’s Pony and 2022’s Bronco. It also marks the culmination of years of work honing his songwriting, singing, musicianship, and artistry to get to this point in his career. Alongside luminaries and peers like Sir Elton John, Kylie Minogue, Willie Nelson, Beck, and many others, Orville continues to extend his creative branches to new sonic and artistic palates, opening up his world to incorporate the voices, sounds, and lyrical contributions of others. “I feel like I’m finally learning how to take my place at the table,” he says of Stampede and this moment in time. This project has always been something I’ve fantasized about, so to see it finally come to fruition really is a dream come true.”
Orville, known for his unique personal style, has collaborated with many fashion brands including but not limited to Dior, Michael KORS, ADIDAS X Ivy Park and Pamela Love amongst others.
Known for his live shows, Orville was one of the first artists to return to touring and has toured across the US, Europe, Australia and Canada. He has had sold out shows at Hollywood Bowl and Ryman Theatre, as well as major festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Stage Coach and Coachella amongst others.
When Orville is not performing or touring, he lends his time to activism and the causes he is committed to.
