Orphan Project's beginnings started in November of '01 when Shane Lankford
(About A Day) approached John Wenger (Mars Hill & solo) with an idea to write
a concept album on physical and spiritual adoption. After a few months of
waiting, John said yes and the process began to create a soundscape that could
handle the lyrical depth of what Shane wanted to, and in alot of ways, needed
to get out.
Based on major influences Kansas, Yes, Peter Gabriel, Dream Theater, and
U2...Orphan Found was written. Shane asked good friends, guitarist Chris
Maggitti, drummer Nathan Grant, violinist Cindy King, and bassist Jason
Chaillou (1up2down & About A Day) to play in the studio on the CD and John
gathered bassist Colin McGough (Mars Hill, Forever Moon, & Cinema 8), celloist
Ben Hardesty. Together with the incredible leadership of John Grant and Tony
Correlli (Secret Sound Studio in MD), they recorded Orphan Found during
April-June '03. The project was much larger than expected and a "live" show
was always something Shane wanted to happen, so the search for the "live"
lineup began.
After seeing who would have the time to commit to Orphan Project and some
auditions, the final (hopefully) members of Orphan Project were found: Shane
Lankford (lead vocals), John Wenger (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Colin
McGough (bass & vocals), Tony Correlli from Wake TM (keyboards), Scott Spivey
from Wake TM (lead guitars & vocals), and a couple of others...Sean Molinar
(drums) rose to take this "hard-to-fill" position.
