Desperado Orchestra: Let’s Fly Tour

Desperado Orchestra is a reggae duo from Hawai’i, blending soulful melodies with rich storytelling. Founded by multi-instrumentalist J Lawson and composer Megan Fong, the duo’s sound is deeply rooted in jazz, blues, and reggae, influenced by their global experiences performing in California, China, and beyond. J’s background in gospel, soul, and jazz—shaped by collaborations with Grammy-winning artists—meets Megan’s expertise in improvisation and orchestration, honed under jazz legends Wadada Leo Smith and Leroy Jenkins. Their music is both rhythmic and thought-provoking, as heard in singles like “Outer Space,” “Just Dancin’,” and “Tell the Youth the Truth.” Based on the island of Kaua’i, Desperado Orchestra continues to craft immersive, cross-cultural sounds that celebrate artistic freedom and unity.
