The Orphan The Poet is an alt-rock duo out of Columbus, Ohio, and the band has spent the better part of a decade making its name on the stage rather than the studio. The duo of David Eselgroth and Jake Floyd has worked through a steady run of releases, from early efforts like Terrible Things in 2016 to Queen Cobra in 2019, but the records are only half the story.
The reputation was built live. The Orphan The Poet earned its profile the hard way, on festival bills and club stages, with airplay along the way from SiriusXM's Alt Nation, KROQ in Los Angeles, and BBC Radio 1. The festival run tells the tale: Firefly, Riot Fest, and Summerfest put the band in front of national crowds, while hometown dates at WonderBus kept the Columbus roots intact.
Around home base, the band has played rooms from Natalie's Grandview to Newport Music Hall and KEMBA Live!, the kind of touring schedule that turns a duo into a dependable draw. That makes The Orphan The Poet a sought-after live act for festival and fair lineups, college events, corporate dates, and private engagements.
