The trio of Texans known as The Mighty Orq combines timeless sounding classic rock, catchy pop melodies, Matt R. Johnson's mashing drum lines and powerhouse guitar riffs. The group's music, led by surprisingly sentimental lyrics by guitarist Mighty Orq and bassist Terry Glen Dry, can be traced back to influences like ZZ Top and Kings X. The band's debut album, Milk Money, released in 2005, found critical acclaim in the United States and abroad in the UK. With the help of celebrated producer Ben Elliot, who has worked with legends Eric Clapton and Keith Richards, The Mighty Orq's sound was noticeably sharper on its 2008 album, To The Bone. After a 2011 release of a live recordings album, The Mighty Orq has continued to gain celebrity status in its hometown of Houston, while also reaching widespread audiences.
