Orb Mellon plays their first show at the brewery Saturday, July 16th from 3-6 pm. 

Orb Mellon is the blues moniker of Mike Malone, founder and guitarist of the seminal 1990s indie rock band and Sony/Epic recording artists Dirt Merchants.

Orb Mellon’s blues mines the raw energy of 20th Century American roots music, particularly whiskey fueled house party delta blues. Influenced as much by electronica and heavy metal as by the likes of Bukka White and Junior Kimbrough, Orb Mellonperforms pure, sonically aggressive original blues, free from any quaintness or historicism, prompting one reviewer to identify Orb Mellon’s work simply as “blues in all its primeval glory.”
