Members: Mark DeGregory, Jason Kresge, Tony Renda, Matt Ullestad, Daniel Nydick

Founded in New Jersey, USA in 2011.
Orpheus Nine began as a solo project by Jason Kresge. Envisioning keyboard-driven music he created pieces that served up piano, organ, and synthesizer as the lead instruments. After a period of experimentation, he partnered with drummer Daniel Nydick in 2005, and the two spent a few years further developing their style. The result was modern progressive rock with infusions of classical, jazz, metal, and electronica.
By 2011, the duo had expanded to include bassist Tony Renda and guitarist Matt Ullestad. This lineup enjoyed a brief run together before scheduling conflicts forced a temporary hiatus. Daniel's departure led to the 2012 arrival of drummer Mark DeGregory.
