Jeff Orson - Bootleggers

Story Behind the Creation of Bootleggers

A friend of mine once told me that he made plumb brandy in a small still on the balcony of his apartment. That led to me reading several articles over the years on illicit distilling in the highlands of Scotland and bootlegging during US prohibition.

I suppose I absorbed what I had read and my imagination took over, resulting in my new tune entitled “Bootleggers”.

Jeff Orson is a traditional Canadian country singer / songwriter based in Toronto. Diagnosed with cancer in 2014, Jeff began composing songs (some from his hospital bed) while undergoing treatment. Since then, Jeff has played in venues around the world including Singapore, France, Sweden, Mexico City, Dublin, London, Rome, as well as major cities in the US and Canada. Jeff’s last ten singles have received radio play across Canada, the US, Australia, Europe, and Middle East. Jeff released his “Ballads” EP in November 2020, a collection of piano-driven songs including Pray and Drowning. He followed up with his upbeat country singles “Who We Are” and “Home’s the Only Place” in 2021, and “Growin’ Up Country” and “Country Goin’ On” in 2022, and Magic in the Moonshine in early 2024, all receiving plenty of Canadian and US air-time.

Jeff’s fans appreciate his music’s straightforward style and relatable, heart-felt lyrics which are inspired by real life experiences. An artist with broad appeal, Jeff humbly aspires to compose authentic anthems for our times. Jeff’s latest single, “Bootleggers” is another contemporary country tune with an infectious tempo, and is being released in July 2024.
