The song, a catalog staple that has already captured the hearts of fans in its live performances, offers a taste of the captivating acoustic magic that Orebolo is celebrated for. The release is the first offering from the band’s debut studio album The Chateau, arriving everywhere June 7th via No Coincidence Records.
This single version of "Rockdale" brings a fresh, studio-polished sound to the beloved track, highlighting Orebolo's unique ability to transform familiar tunes into awe-inspiring, laid-back renditions.
