Based out of Columbus, Ohio, alt-rock duo THE ORPHAN THE POET is catching eyes and ears well-beyond their midwest roots, thanks to their electric live show and singalong hooks. The band has made waves all over the country, appearing on festival bills like Firefly Music Festival, Riotfest, and Summerfest and garnering the attention of SiriusXM’s Alt Nation, KROQ in Los Angeles, and BBC’s Radio1.

After kicking in the doors with playlist spots like Apple Music's Alternative Workout, Spotify's The New Alt + New Music Friday and even sync placements on FOX Sports, The Orphan The Poet has arrived with a brand new indie-alt hype anthem entitled "Eureka". The title track for the Eureka EP is already making waves on Apple Music’s ALT CTRL playlist as well as a flood of new ears thanks to a premiere from Stryker on Los Angeles’s iconic radio station, ALT 98.7FM.

The duo has recently found themselves on tour with alt-radio favorites Beach Weather and Lime Cordiale across North America, and making festival appearances alongside Lorde, Vampire Weekend, and more. With this momentum, THE ORPHAN THE POET is setting the stage for their biggest year yet.
