The Esther Caulfield Orchestra of Dayton, Ohio is the alias of Ohio singer/songwriter Michael Perkins. After releasing a folk concept album under another name in 2005, Perkins made a drastic change in musical direction and adopted a new moniker in order to better suit the broad range of influences and trans-genre exploration reflected in his music.
The Orchestra can be expected to produce wordy, and often lengthy, melodic compositions centered around a highly descriptive and pedantic lyrical style. The Orchestra’s first album, “Good Morning, Whiskey Breakfast”, is a leap in the direction of what can be described as “Post-Country”. It utilizes the traditional instrumentation of Country & Western music while managing to consistently maintain a steady Psychedelic texture, invoking the ghosts of Gram Parsons and Syd Barrett.
