With intense harmonica, dark, heavy vibes, and a bright intention, OrangeG’s latest release, ”Look Both Ways,” digs into our human tendency to see the worst in people.

It’s pretty odd to think that we’re coming to the tail end of 2020. For one thing, things have actually picked up here considerably in UMC Land in December, with more live streams and all sorts of other fun on our plates. Imagine that — a December that actually gets busier as it goes.
For another, more obvious point: it has certainly felt at times like 2020 would never end, hasn’t it?

Columbia Jones is a Salt Lake City-based songwriter who, like all of us, has had to pivot along his creative path in response to the unexpected brought about by 2020. Through it all, he has remained active, giving us a recent single, “Tourist Town,” as well as the upcoming Sweat/Shiver EP, due to hit streaming platforms on October 30.
Columbia joined us over Zoom to discuss the new tunes, the impact 2020 has had on his music and life, and much more.
