Artist description The BLACKRIDERS ORCHESTRA are sometimes heard & seen in a small formation (5-8 musicians), and most times in an orchestral formation (15-35 musicians, or more). DADDY HEMINGWAY would prefer to keep the biggest formation always onstage, but the budgeting constraints of clients sometimes forces him to the smaller formation. "...Thenn, they have to sound like a full orchestra, and we work on this all the time," says Hemingway.
