Just two days before dropping his highly anticipated Show Pony EP, rising alt-country star Orville Peck has delayed its release to late July.
Explained the mysterious, Lone Ranger-inspired singer-songwriter, "We’re undergoing a huge overdue worldwide transformation thanks to the Black Lives Matter movement and that is mainly what I want to put my focus on at the moment. The momentum is currently so strong, and it needs to keep going in order to dismantle the injustices of oppression, so if your voice hasn’t been heard yet just use it, or walk out and hear the protesters, and if you’re scared, tell them Orville sent you!"
Peck - who identifies as gay - will be performing a selection from Show Pony this Saturday, June 15 for the digital Wynwood Pride event.
Show Pony follows Peck's 2019 debut Pony; the new six track release will also include a duet with Shania Twain.
