About Blind Pilot
A Portland-based duo comprised of singer/guitarist Israel Nebeker and drummer Ryan Dobrowski, Blind Pilot strike a balance between mellow folk and West Coast indie pop. The two friends first banded together in college before combining their musical talents and touring the northwestern Oregon circuit. By 2006, however, they'd decided that a change of scenery might help fuel their songwriting. Blind Pilot consequently relocated 90 miles north, where they spent three months inside an Astoria warehouse while recording demos for a full-length album. Afterwards, Nebeker and Dobrowski launched a "bike tour" that saw them traveling from Vancouver to San Francisco via their bicycles, playing shows and selling EPs (not to mention saving gas money) along the way. They returned home to finalize their 3 Round and a Sound debut, which was released by Expunged Records in June 2008. ~ Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide

Blind Pilot - iTunes Session EP
Available now!
Tranquil folk songs spill out like water from a spigot when Portland's Blind Pilot picks up instruments. This exclusive live session was recoded in Portland, so presumably the band's six touring members didn't have to ride their infamous bicycles too far to meet up with Tucker Martine (the Decemberists, R.E.M.), who recorded and mixed the five-song set. Three cuts from Blind Pilot's debut album - which are characteristically grounded and optimistic (albeit a bit beleaguered at times) - are bookended by a sparse acoustic cover of Gillian Welch's laconic "Look At Miss Ohio" and a new original track, "Get It Out" which pairs galloping drums with a carpe-diem message - driving home the face that Blind Pilot makes simply beautiful music for complicated times.
