Hold a seashell to your ear and enjoy the sweet sounds of Marina Orchestra, the New Orleans based beach-rock outfit. Imagine if the B-52’s, David Byrne and Sir Victor Uwaifo all went to Trinidad to write music. Band leader and singer songwriter, Justin Powers, cleverly weaves between genres creating a feel-good, groovy style of rock that is distinctly original.

Known for their vibrant musical energy and life affirming lyrics the band has wowed audiences with their soaring vocal harmonies and infectious rhythms. Since 2010 Marina Orchestra has been a vision of a blaring brass section, swinging back-up singers, churning poly rhythms and sweet melodies that stick with you. The band is made up of Justin Powers (lead vocals and guitar), Ashley Shabankareh (vocals and Trombone), Kelly Smith (bass), Colin Davis (drums), Logan Gross (trumpet), and Lori LaPatka (saxophone).

Since the release of their third studio album "Night Life" in October 2020, the band has been churning out a suite of singles, including "Wayside," "Rainmaker," "Good Time," "Daydream," and more.
