"Cyndi and Ryan each bring a distinctive presence to the stage and their strong vocals and musicality as a duo are always fun to see."
-Melissa Currier, EV2BK.com 2009
"When I had the opportunity to hear Red Orange Morning (aka Cyndi and Ryan) play a while back I was instantly attracted to their sincere, straightforward performance. Red Orange Morning comes across as two friends making music for no other reason than to proliferate an appreciation of solid songwriting. Like their sound, Cyndi and Ryan's presentation holds no pretension, resulting in an overall honesty that few artists achieve."
- Dan DIppolito, JezebelMusic.com 2006
Red Orange Morning is a melodic, pop/rock band with male and female vocalists that harmonize and share lead accompanied by guitar and keyboards. The smooth, unpredictable harmonies of Ryan Hampton and Cyndi Ramirez often shadow each other, their voices becoming as distinctive together as they are standing alone. Overall, the music is moody, sad, angry, passionate, and intense, and the end result is a rhythmic and melodic collage that blurs the line of what usually separates the singer-songwriter from the full band aesthetic.
Based in Brooklyn, Red Orange Morning has played many NYC venues since its inception in late 2004, such as Pianos, Rockwood Music Hall, Union Hall, The BellHouse, The Annex, CBGB's Gallery, Arlene's Grocery, The Lion's Den, Fat Baby, Pete's Candy Store, Kenny's Castaways, and Sin-e. They also have a strong presence in the Philadelphia music scene, having performed to sold-out crowds at World Café Live, The Khyber, Grape Street Pub, North Star Bar, and The Fire, to name a few.
ROM's song "The Woman Lies," has been a part of Philadelphia WXPN's rotation, and the band was among a select few chosen to participate in The ASCAP Foundation Extended Songwriters Workshop, which "focuses on the discovery, development and education of a select, advanced group of songwriters."
Red Orange Morning's present and future plans are to get their music into as many hands as possible through their continuing East Coast live shows, their online presence, and past recorded work. In addition to their 15-song debut and 4-song follow-up, Red Orange Morning released a 3-song EP in early 2009 featuring the songs Under A Blanket, Halloween Show, and Love Times Three. Future plans are to record a full-length record with more extensive touring in 2010.
