Country artist Orville Peck has released his 'Appaloosa' EP via Warner Records; listen
HERE. It includes a new duet with Noah Cyrus. See the music video for lead single “Drift Away.” Watch
HERE.
“Appaloosa — the spotted horse — is a collection of songs created to honour the power of singularity. A celebration of uniqueness and performance. An archive of love and fear,” says Orville. The set was produced by Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s Jacob Portrait.
Today, the LGBTQ singer kicks off his 7th Annual Rodeo, running all weekend in Pioneertown, CA, at Pappy & Harriet’s, and featuring performances from Joy Oladokun, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Allison Russell, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and more.
Beyond curating the entire experience, Peck will play a different set each day: cover songs tonight; headlining on Saturday with special guests; and winding down with an acoustic performance on Sunday. Info
HERE.
“Maybe This Time” was made famous by Liza Minnelli in the 1972 film adaptation of Cabaret. Peck made his Broadway debut in a five-month, 128-show run of Cabaret this summer, drawing rave reviews along the way.
Peck also recently wrapped filming the star-studded 2026 Street Fighter movie, in which he plays the masked assassin
Vega. Appaloosa is not just Peck’s return to music, but also to solo songcraft. In recent months, he’s teamed up with Cyrus for her single “
Love Is a Canyon,” and Kesha for “
Tennessee” also featuring Hudson Mohawke and Tayla Parx. Notably, the latter was recorded for the just-released All Things Go: 10 Years album, with all proceeds benefitting Jack and Rachel Antonoff’s The Ally Coalition.
Last year, Peck dropped his eclectic and acclaimed duets album
Stampede, featuring collaborations with Kylie Minogue and Diplo on “
Midnight Ride,” Beck on “
Death Valley High,” and Willie Nelson for a cover of “
Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other.” The project's guest list also included Cyrus, Rateliff, Russell, Elton John, Teddy Swims, Midland, Margo Price, Molly Tuttle, and more.
