Cicero and The Orations began as a brainchild of Tim Bustle and Ian McNally in 2009, evolving into a full lineup by 2012. Based in New York City, this indie-folk-funk-rock project is known for blending experimental textures with catchy songwriting, creating a sound that sits between intimate folk storytelling and edgy, rhythmic rock. While the band remains active in the NYC area, their music has circulated in select circles through self-released records and demos that capture their imaginative spirit.
