The Orphan Brigade: Soundtrack to a Ghost Story
This is a ghost story set to music... A group of musicians (The Orphan Brigade) spent a year writing and recording an album in one of the most haunted houses in the Southern US. (Octagon Hall, Franklin, KY) The group set out to tell the story of this eerie architectural oddity and of the family, soldiers, and servants who lived and died there. They looked for inspiration and possible encounters with the spirits of this place. In the end they found that and much more. While tracing the lives of these 19th century characters they found a window into universal themes that we all face. The house became a symbol of how we are all haunted by the things that we cannot let go of.
