Sci Fi themed punk!  A band's where is less important than its when. When Oort Patrol is from matters less than when they are – which is obviously always just right now.
 

The temporally ambivalent band claims their compositions – fuzzy pop punk gems which make you wonder if they really weren't there in all those alternate realities – are each gigantic hits that have repaired and even prevented total chaos in other timelines.
 

And our timeline, fraught as it is with war, strife, social injustice, celebrity trials, fraud and sorrow, has never been more in need of some hits. So here, and now, are Oort Patrol.

Reese McHenry came up swinging in Northern Minnesota and she didn’t sit still for very long. A true troubadour, her powerful voice has driven her from the fresh greens of Eau Claire to the dusty motels of Albuquerque and everywhere in between. Since settling in North Carolina, this prolific songwriter and jagged performer has lent her fire and talent to a number of recording projects and now turns her attention to her own damn show. 

​

Her songs defy genre and, though one could still categorize them as straight-shooting “rock,” the real thread connecting these songs is a wry brand of humor mixed with an ability to catch a hook at just the right moment. McHenry’s true signature, of course, is her emotive blues voice that can change at any moment from soft sweetness to a torrential downpour.
