Lost Orchards
Ron Freeman met Savannah at an open mic three years ago. Then he convinced her to sing with him and marry him. In that order. Together they play sporadically in and around their home base of Columbus.
With nearly 70% of their songs mentioning freight trains, their music is an inspired mix of nostalgic Americana and modern independent songwriters.
