Orville Peck with Teddy and The Rough Riders at Canton Hall

A versatile and experienced performer with a background in theater and in Canada’s punk scene, Peck, it’s safe to say, is approaching a reflexively conservative genre from a naturally progressive point of view. But though he admits that his motives are in part disruptive, he insists that his feelings for country music — and its densely woven traditions — are as genuine as can be; ditto his eagerness to reach listeners beyond the urban hipsters he played to last month in West Hollywood on tour behind his convincing debut album, “Pony.”
