...The Official Site for Alt Country, "In memory of Laura Ellen Hopper, pioneer of Americana (KFAT, KPIG)
"It's one fine album" - Ben Fong-Torres (Live365.com radio, Rolling Stone, KSAN)
"Voices In My Head (Genre Whiplash)" album review - (Globe Records): ... "so well crafted as Mr. Eschliman has assembled a
wonderful cast of Bay Area musicians to achieve this down home sound... a very timely reminder of how rich the musical
community of the San Francisco Bay Area is.... certainly demonstrates a mastery of many musical genres that provides a
roadmap of classic Americana music with this fine new record." - J C Flyer
"...excellent album ... has roots in country and blues but zigzags all over the musical map, evokes artists from multiple decades
over the last century and embraces everything from indie-rock and Americana to Celtic, Motown, and Western swing. If you need a reference
point, look to Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks and Asleep at the Wheel, whose records also draw on disparate sources."
- Jeff Burger, Americana Highways,
TheAquarian.com
"...everything from alt. rock to cajun, to country, to Brownie Ford era Western Swing. But the thing that keeps this set together is their
excellent songwriting full of smooth never-miss-a-beat
lines and vivid imagery. It's a studio album but it sure does have a back porch jam band feel to it"
- Calvin Powers, americanamusicshow.com,
WHUP-FM (4 songs in rotation)
Back pOrchEstra's latest album, "Voices in My Head," was released in the summer of 2020. This Shelter-in-Place-inspired band,
formed in the midst of the pandemic, delivers a refreshing sound with a blend of original compositions and adaptations of American classics.
The musicians are no exception. They are experienced and diverse in genres, from roots rock to Americana, from country blues to Western swing.
On "Voices in My Head," they reinterpret songs by Hank Williams, Dan Hicks, Big Bill Broonzy, Bob Wills, Bobby Charles, and Taj Mahal...
Contributions from guest musicians, including Austin
deLone and Vicki Randle, add depth to the ensemble. "Voices in My Head" takes you on a journey through American music history that
will be a pleasant surprise for fans (Globe Records).
(Norman van den
Wildenberg, Maxazine)

originals and some select, possibly obscure, even historic tunes
(incl. '20s, '30s tunes downsized and reinvented a taste...)
New music by the San Francisco Bay Area musical outfit, Tim Eschliman's Back pOrchEstra
Roots Rock, Americana, country blues, Western Swing, Cajun, Indie-Rock,
New Orleans and singer-songwriter music.
The band presents new originals as well as historic American Roots material with rich acoustic tones. It's a compact
Shelter-in-Place-inspired musical outfit befitting the newfound minimalism of the current times... going back to the basics...
taking advantage of the highly talented yet currently idle players. Formed for the first time the locked-down summer of 2020,
they have conducted several live streaming episodes and live outdoor shows as well as a recent foray into the Big-Pink-style
living room recording facilities of Globe Records
(as utilized in the recent New Copasetics album).
The Single...about this forever moment we are
currently in:
"If I Ever See You Again" (Remix)

What's it like?:
The Roots Rock flavor of this track is driven by a Levon Helm rhythm
inspiration, a bit of Lucinda vibe, even some Joni
Mitchell influence, some Sid Page improvisational/orchestral tones (Dan Hicks) and when we get to reach the chorus, a hint of Marvin Gaye groove.
Another Single,
... "Might Hafta Go After It"
from the Voices In My Head project
A groovin', rockin' tribute to the amazing Jesse "Ed" Davis (early Taj Mahal) feel-good guitar style.
