Lynn Phillips vocal stylings hold strong on an impressive 3-octave range with songs ranging from soulful reggae, to blow-you-away punk/funk and rawk. Lynn's over-the-top leads have an evident Jimi Hendrix influence! John Juilliard Jowett plays the trombone with a conductor's confidence and a ska player's humour. Oriana Barbato plays the toe tappin' bass smackin' head boppin' anything but laid back, sanguine bass lines. Manny DaSilva is a hard hittin ska smackin drummer whose exuberant energy explodes in live Random Order shows. Random Order has been compared to bands such as the Au Pairs, The Slits,and The Clash, and have received airplay on radio stations as far away as Galway Ireland [Radio Pirate Woman], Berlin, Germany, Amsterdam Holland and has reached #2 on CLKN 88.1 fm's charts twice and number one on CKMS (Waterloo). Random Order has been to Europe twice and have performed at festivals, wedding receptions, pubs, clubs, and cafe's across the continent.
Random Order's audience appeal across the spectrum makes the band a great fit for festival shows. Just as their style spans genres & eras, so do their audiences from fans as young as seven years old to veteran festivalgoers and everyone in between.
"When Random Order gets on stage, you have no choice but to submit to the moving of your body guaranteed to pull you into that horn-blowing-bass-thumping-rawk-vocals-ska-rythms-full-of-energy groove, and not let go until well after they've left the stage." (Shara Gustafson - Festival Director: Robson Valley Music Festival)
