Delphi Ravens' original music is emotion driven and ranges from high energy to softer tones depending on the theme of the song and lyrics. Founder Papa B. says "Serving the song is our #1 priority when writing and recording." Papa B. is a long-time ASCAP songwriter and writes the music for the band and about many of the lyrics. Vocalist Kira writes the other lyrics and most of the melodies. They collaborate on most songs.
The band members are very experienced players and some have toured professionally. Performance times vary based upon the event and participants. The band is not a cover band but does include some covers for longer performances and customizes its set lists as much as possible to meet venue requests.
In 2021/2024 the band has written, recorded and released 19 songs and an EP with 4 more on the release schedule in 2024. The band is headed back to the studio in late 2024 to record 4 more songs. During this same time the band has amassed 30,000+ fans worldwide, had 100,000+ music streams, been played on 3,600+ radio stations, and garnered rave reviews and 8 songwriting awards.
One of the band's songs, Hardest Goodbye, has been used in a dramatic series and is poised for other music licensing.
Delphi Ravens are the hottest band in the Pacific Northwest!

“Wow! The Delphi Ravens are a rare treat. And I am glad to report, many people will be loving their music very soon.” Lisa Anderson, Int’l blog, YupLife
“Fusion rock band Delphi Ravens released their first single How Wrong You Were. A musical ‘eff-you’ to a past lover, this powerful number is sure to grab your attention. Vocalist, Kira, delivers a riveting and commanding performance. They have a powerful, in-your-face, sound and the moxy to make an impact!”
Ryan of Indie Band Guru
“Delphi Ravens strike gold with fresh hooks, roaring guitar tones, and contrast between the energetic instrumental parts and the powerful vocals. It makes me think of legendary artists such as Elliott Smith, Fleetwood Mac, or Bright Eyes.”
Editor, Int’l Entertainment blog, Friday Rumors
