Corsica is a San Francisco based band formed in 2002 around the nucleus of songwriters Keith Dion (The Ophelias, Noel Redding Band, The Posonby DCs) and Brad Orgeron (The Mystery School, Wicked Electricity). They invited their friends William Seacamp (The Graves Brothers Deluxe), Marco Villalobos (The Graves Brothers Deluxe), Mike Levy (The Sneetches) and Sandy Poindexter (who has played with Dizzy Gillespie, John Handy and other jazz greats) to fill out the line-up.
Strong songs, born out of the Pacific ocean view from where Keith & Brad did their writing sessions, ..this is folk-rock indie pop with psychedelic undertones. Lilting violin & keyboards are nailed down by the rhythm section while Brad sings apocalyptic fairytales. Look for their forthcoming album, “Sight Of The Sun”.
