The Old Ceremony

Show Description

"They run smoke rings around a midnight train pulling in its wake murder ballads, bad seeds, and maudlin cafes."
- Independent Weekly


The Old Ceremony is a pop-noir ensemble from Chapel Hill, NC figureheaded by songwriter/raconteur Django Haskins (International Orange, Django & the Regulars). Inspired by the Great American Songbook, Lennon-McCartney, and the theatricality of Tom Waits, Serge Gainesbourg, Astor Piazzolla and Nick Cave, The Old Ceremony creates their own shoebox panorama of a world of paper palm trees, unsolved mysteries and unopened air mail. It is distinctly American and faintly exotic.
