Texas' Solo Finalist For 2012 (2nd year) @ International Blues Challenge 'The Mighty Orq'
Last year, just getting to perform at the legendary Memphis TN 'Orpheus Theater' was a dream come true for Orq, and now he's in Memphis again competing in the Internation Blues Challenge for the second year in a row, representing Houston TX!
Abby Owen of 'The Texas Blues Roadhouse' interviewed 'The Mighty Orq' late 2010 as he was getting prepared to go represent the Houston Regional delegation in the Solo/Duo category in 2011. He was officially one of the last eight finalist who competed last year, Feb 5th 2011 in Memphis. This is out of hundreds of contestants, so just getting that far was a major win for Orq, and his devoted Texas fans. See the interview, find out who wins, and stay in the loop at American Blues News!
Watch him weave his magick in this video from a couple years ago,

Well, Orq didn't win...but he made it to the Finals, and the top 8 out of HUNDREDS of entrants ain't too shabby! Texas is proud of our boy, and wish him great success for his future. With all the new friends he made, and new fans he scooped up in Memphis he is sure to shine brighter than ever! If you'd like to check out the IBC winners go to: American Blues News for the scoop!
