Once upon a time, a kid from down and out St. Louis, MO, packed up his beater car and came out to Washington State to study composition at Evergreen. 40 years later, he’s still in the Pacific Northwest, composing, performing and recording.
Since then, he’s done everything from acoustic folk through jazz, rock and orchestral pieces, but he always comes back to writing chewy, complex pieces that remain melodic and accessible while taking your mind to different galaxies.
After two acoustic solo albums, Bingham and his wife, Sue Tinney, started the seminal Pagan band, Gaia Consort in 1997. Pagans loved it, but after four critically acclaimed records, it was time to expand the audience. So – a new name.
Bone Poets Orchestra explores wildly different textures through a “no stylistic borders” policy – all enhanced by 40 years of immersion in just about every musical style.
