Song Spotlight: Orion Sisters' What We Had (a night at Hotel Ziggy)

Orion Sisters are a trio of sisters (Bethany, Lindsay, and Natalie Baker). The singer-songwriter trio all have guitar duties, which made for a tight onstage fit during their WFNM showcase at Hotel Ziggy. Who is the leader of the pack? It appears that Natalie takes on primary lead vocal duties though Bethany often did lead-in duties. Interestingly, the two of them speak Mandarin (you can watch an Instagram reel here). Based on the fact that Lindsay doesn't speak Mandarin, I'm guessing she's the eldest (assuming the opportunity to learn the language came up after she aged out of making it easy to learn a foreign language).

The band had a couple of fans who drove in all the way from Northern California to catch their set. Via their press kit, they're from a small town in Northern California and later moved to Los Angeles. 

Sitting on individual stools, the trio opened up the night with "Someone New" that highlights their three-part harmonies. Bethany started off with the lead vocals before seamlessly handing off those duties to Natalie. Smiles abounded throughout the song. Being in the middle, Bethany provided the connectivity between the three by glancing at her other two sisters throughout the song.

The trio decided to play a couple covers that they thought people who weren't familiar with their music would enjoy. For the younger crowd, they played Chappell Roan's "Good Luck, Babe!" while the older crowd were charmed by Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." 

They ended the night playing their song "Feel It Too" which was on an episode of Love Island.  They admitted that they had never seen the show.

The song spotlight goes to "What We Had." At the time, it was their soon to be released song. Potentially, it will be a big hit on China's version of Spotify. Per their Instagram account, it is a song about "not being able to be 'just friends' with that person."

I'd fall back.
I'd relapse.
Cause I know I can't handle that.
