Hold a seashell to your ear and enjoy the sweet sounds of Marina Orchestra, the New Orleans based beach-rock outfit. Imagine if the B-52’s, David Byrne and Sir Victor Uwaifo all went to Trinidad to write music. Band leader and singer songwriter, Justin Powers, cleverly weaves between genres creating a feel-good, groovy style of rock that is distinctly original.

Known for their vibrant musical energy and life affirming lyrics the band has wowed audiences with their soaring vocal harmonies and infectious rhythms. Since 2010 Marina Orchestra has been a vision of a blaring brass section, swinging back-up singers, churning poly rhythms and sweet melodies that stick with you.

All throughout 2022 the band has been dropping singles as a follow up to their 2020 album “Night Life”. Check out brand new songs like “Music is Medicine” (Oct. 7), “Daydream”, “Golden Oldies” and “Good Time”
