The Manchurians Tickets

Formed in 1999 in Branford, Connecticut, The Manchurians have built a reputation as a hard-edged, blues-driven rock outfit with a melodic twist. The original lineup—Roger C. Reale, Mat Reale, Dean Falcone, and Bob Orsi—set the foundation for a sound often described as Fleetwood Mac meets Rory Gallagher meets Cheap Trick. Over the years, the band welcomed additional members, expanding their live and studio versatility. We’ve got you covered with a concise bio, a look at their discography, and up-to-date information on upcoming shows and releases.

Biographical highlights include a 2010 Best Band in Connecticut distinction from Connecticut Magazine and a Handy Award nomination for Blues Song of the Year for I Smell Smoke (co-written by Roger Reale) in 2004. The Manchurians released Deliverance (2007) and Big Rhythm (2013), with fresh material surfacing in 2025–2026 under The Manchurians name, including Dead Man's Car, All My Friends, Ghost Of A Chance (2025), Jan 2026 releases, and TV Blues (2026). While 2025 touring had limited major outward announcements, the band remains active regionally with festival appearances and Northeast dates, continuing to perform at CT venues and beyond.
