Interview: John Ramsey of Orange Animal-February 20, 2024
Formed in 2017, Cleveland’s rock band Orange Animal is making a name for themselves in the Midwest. Their third album Still Frames, which was released on February 16th, is full of acoustic rock-driven ballads that touch the soul. Vocalist John Ramsey’s baritone voice is rich and textured–think Eddie Vedder’s solo album Into the Wild.
Rock At Night chats with Ramsey to learn about the new album. In the interview, he discusses the origin of the band’s name, the stories behind songs on their recent album Still Frames, using string accompaniment and collaborating with musicians, writing music during the pandemic, playing at the infamous Viper Room, and their upcoming tour.
Orange Animal is John Ramsey (guitar/vocals), Bill Derivan (bass guitar), Chris Shaheen (guitar) and Adam Thurman (drums/percussion).

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
