Tangled Orchid
A six-member band that takes you on a journey from the 60s to today.
Fronted by sisters Bles and Veronica (V) Fuata, Tangled Orchid's high-energy performances include music from several different genres.
Lead vocalist V Fuata has sung since she was a toddler, performing with her sister in their family's band. She also sings frequently at local fundraisers and has performed the Star Spangled Banner in front of crowds at sporting events.
Bles Fuata, also a part of their family's band heritage, has sung and danced with her sister and family for years and is a captivating and adept dancer, showcasing her Polynesian heritage.
Tangled Orchid also includes a talented mix of experienced musicians. Oswaldo (Ozzie) is a rock bassist who adds Latin rhythms from his Venezuelan roots. Nick Dipalo, a rhythm guitarist who moved here from New York, says Metallica, Aerosmith, and Green Day are bands that have influenced his music. Drummer Joshua Brown moved to St. Augustine from Indiana and has been performing since the 90s. He tosses in drum licks from metal, grunge, jazz, and (truly) musical theater. Lead guitarist Mike Mach, from Ohio, played with several groups in the Midwest before heading south. A popular guitarist in several jam bands, Mach says his influences range from Stevie Ray Vaughn to Petrucci.
In addition to their musical chops, Tangled Orchid is known for their high-energy performances in Northeast Florida.
