Renegade Orchestra fuses the sweep of a symphony with the punch of a rock band, leaving quiet, buttoned-up tradition behind.

This group has brought its sound to refined concert halls, gritty warehouses, hidden underground spaces, and even a vintage boathouse, proving it can ignite any room. Coverage from The Bohemian, the Mercury News, the Napa Valley Register, and East Bay Express praises their rebellious approach and song choices that lean more Hendrix than Handel. Led by co-founder Jason Eckl, who serves as guitarist and conductor, the orchestra has delivered bold takes on pieces like Nina Simone’s Sinnerman, the Beatles’ Helter Skelter, Ray Charles’ What’d I Say, and Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze, transforming them into string-driven, full-throttle showcases.
