Lots of great performers, so if you guys like what you see, remember to tip- and y\u2019all, even if you can\u2019t tip, watching to actively educate yourself is also a win for everyone. Love you all for being kind people and I can\u2019t wait for you to hear the album &#8211; but lets use this month to get our shit in order because this is only the start of the marathon for equality.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Orville Peck&#8217;s new EP will feature six songs, including a Shania Twain duet and a Bobbie Gentry cover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peck released its first track, &#8220;Summertime,&#8221; on April 1, and has also its second track, &#8220;No Glory in the West,&#8221; on May 29, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The self-produced six-track EP is an evolution of Peck\u2019s debut album Pony, about which the musician said the following<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI loved my experience with [my debut album], Pony. However, Show Pony is a more confident perspective and allows me to share even more both lyrically and musically.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like all country albums, Show Pony is a little collection of stories &#8212; some sad, some happy &#8212; and I am excited for people to hear it.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the meantime, you will be able to get tickets for the upcoming Orville Peck shows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/orville-peck-tickets\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist\/songwriter Orville Peck has postponed the release of his upcoming \u2018Show Pony\u2019 EP which was due to be released on June 12.
