Thanksgiving is the name under which Portland , Oregon singer/songwriter Adrian Orange (Born 1986) performs. Officially adopting the "Thanksgiving" moniker around 1999-2000, Orange plays lo-fi indie rock/ folk music, often accompanying himself on electric guitar. While Thanksgiving is essentially a solo act, Adrian Orange often collaborates with other musicians in his recordings and performances. Thanksgiving is commonly associated with Phil Elverum ( The Microphones , Mount Eerie ), who produced ''Welcome Nowhere'' and has stated that "the best songs ever written are being written RIGHT NOW by Adrian Orange." Orange is also a member of the instrumental band The Watery Graves Of Portland and co-founded Marriage Records . He became known as an intentionally "lo-fi" folk songwriter in the vein of artists such as Will Oldham , (Smog) , and Jandek . However, since mid-2006, Adrian Orange has played nearly all of his live shows with a nine-piece backing band, the Child Slave Rebellion (LAKE). By their doing, older Thanksgiving songs are recreated with rock and reggae textures, and as a songwriter, Orange has seemingly been influenced by these styles. RELEASES Albums
