“…the same distinctly Pacific Northwest mellow of regional progenitors like
Death Cab For Cutie and Elliott Smith.” — The Onion
“…a bright and simple quality that’s undeniably captivating.” —WXPN’s “World Café”
“Soaring, solid genius…their success is all but guaranteed.” —Seattle Weekly
Rising Portland-based band Blind Pilot will expand their fall tour with 18 new dates beginning November 13 in Burlington, VT. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Laura Veirs will open for Blind Pilot on the new dates, which include performances at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom, Philadelphia’s World Café Live and Chicago’s Lincoln Hall. The band is touring in support of their full-length debut 3 Rounds and a Sound, which earned the band performances on national radio (NPR’s “Morning Edition” and “All Songs Considered”), national television (“Last Call with Carson Daly”) and a spot on this year’s bill for the esteemed NPR Music Showcase at SXSW in Austin, TX. The album, available now on Expunged Records, received praise from USA Today, the Boston Globe, the New York Post and the Philadelphia Inquirer, which calls the music “…a rustic reverie.” Additionally, the track “Go On, Say It” was recently selected as the Single of the Week on iTunes.
Blind Pilot will begin the first leg of their tour with special guests The Low Anthem next month and recently wrapped up a summer tour, which included opening slots for The Decemberists, Andrew Bird and the acclaimed British rock band Gomez. Blind Pilot also recently played sets at this year’s Lollapalooza, Sasquatch!, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival and Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival and will perform at the upcoming Sisters Folk Festival and headline Portland’s Crystal Ballroom as part of Musicfest NW. Please see below for a full list of dates.
Nothing spotlights Blind Pilot’s building success like their touring history. In 2007, Blind Pilot’s founding members Israel Nebeker (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Dobrowski (drums) embarked on a West Coast bicycle tour playing mostly to unfamiliar listeners at small-town venues. The venturesome duo has since come a long way from their grassroots inception. This summer, Nebeker and Dobrowski rounded out Blind Pilot’s lineup as a six-piece with fellow Oregonians Luke Ydstie (upright bass, backing vocals), Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, backing vocals), Ian Krist (vibraphones) and Dave Jorgensen (keyboards, trumpet).
