Culpeper's Orchard

Danish Progressive Rock Band

Culpeper's Orchard was a Danish rock band formed in the late 1960s, known for their blend of rock, folk, and progressive elements. The group was named after the 17th-century English herbalist Nicholas Culpeper. They released their self-titled debut album in 1971, which established them as a significant act in the Danish rock scene. The band's lineup included Cy Nicklin (vocals and guitar), Nils Henriksen (guitar, moog), Michael Friis (bass), and Rodger Barker (drums). They were known for their skilled musicianship and innovative sound. Although they did not achieve widespread international fame, Culpeper's Orchard has maintained a cult following over the years, particularly among fans of progressive and psychedelic rock. Their work from the early '70s, including any recordings from 1971 to 1973, is considered to be part of their most influential period.
