The Orange Show presents Dan Deacon & Ensemble…Live at The World Famous Orange Show!  Thursday, April 16. 

What happens when a classically trained composer lets loose on a makeshift collection of Casio organs and vintage vocoders? Find out when this mad scientist of music brings his electronic mash-ups and frenzied fun party music to The Orange Show.

Dan Deacon (born 1981) is a Baltimore, Maryland-based electronic music composer/performer. He attended the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College in Purchase, New York, where he played in many bands, including tuba for Langhorne Slim and guitar in the improvisational grindcore band Rated R. He completed his graduate studies in electro-acoustic and computer music composition. He studied under composer/conductor Joel Thome. Currently, he lives at Wham City in Baltimore, Maryland.

Dan Deacon’s compositional style is best classified in the future shock genre along with videohippos, Santa Dads, Blood Baby, Ecstatic Sunshine, Ponytail, and other bands in the growing Baltimore music scene. In February 2008 Deacon performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.
