Adventures with Felix!

Back from the show in Lexington, SC with Felix Cavaliere (of the Rascals). Talk about a GOOD TIME!
Wally Steinhauser and all the folks at Wingard’s Nursery treated us like kings! BEAUTIFUL setting, absolutely gorgeous weather, great production gear and techs to run it … and the FOOD! After the show they insisted on [...]

Thanks … just thanks!

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the US. A day we set aside to proclaim and celebrate our gratitude for that which we have … or even what we don’t have … or just the fact that we’re still standing. Even in these generally tough times for all, there IS so much to be grateful for.
I [...]

What did he say about a NEW Orleans album?

Just recently (September 15th, 2010), our own Larry Hoppen was interviewed by Canadian guitarist / Independent Radio Host, Jason Saulnier.
Hailing from Nova Scotia, Jason’s bio says he interviews roughly 100 artists per year! He engaged Larry by phone for about 20 minutes total. Among the topics discussed are …
1) Orleans’ and Rock & Pop Masters’ touring schedules, [...]

John Hall is Still the One (more YouTube video)

OK, we’re kinda biased.
True that John Hall is a long-time friend, colleague, and comrade.
True that we, as a group, tend to lean to the left.
True that, even when we don’t necessarily agree, we still have each others’ backs.
But beyond all that, it’s also true that former Orleans singer/songwriter/Founder John Hall has done good work on [...]

The debate rages over ESPN commercial

Geez!
Who knew that posting ESPN’s “It’s not crazy; it’s sports!” commercial for the Philadelphia Eagles using Still the One would spark such a discussion as the one that’s taking place over at the Orleans YouTube Channel?
Some viewers are confused by the images …
Is that the SAME woman with different hairstyles he’s with? … or is it a [...]

ESPN uses Still the One for “It’s not crazy; it’s sports” commercial

It’s the Thing that wouldn’t die!

From it’s first application to the commercial marketplace as the theme song for the ABC Television Network (here and abroad) in 1977, through the seemingly endless usages by everything from car dealerships to local banks, from NutriSystem to Burger King, there’s probably  been very little time that the song Still the [...]

10 Good Years? (according to Larry)

What was it like for YOU 10 years ago? A lot happens over a decade, but the only thing certain is that everyone reading this is 10 years older now than at the beginning of 2000! 
We’re not only older but hopefully wiser, too. Here’s what the last decade looks like to me from here and [...]

Larry’s take: new DVD

We met Greg Rike after a Rock & Pop Masters show at Kenedy Space Center in December ‘07. Frankly, it was a very hectic day; so, although we’d planned on filming an Orleans interview, the day went by: driving, soundcheck, dinner, changing, the show, Meet’n’Greet then winding down to drive home. But, we STILL hadn’t [...]

Thanks for your responses to “For Fathers Everywhere”!

Hi everyone - thanks SO much for your messages about the song ‘For Fathers Everywhere’ !!!

Too many for me to answer individually, so i will share a few things with you in response to your various (but ultimately, similar - and I believe, universal) thoughts and feelings.
The Hoppen parents (of Lance, Lane and myself) are [...]
