Blind Pilot are hitting the road for a handful of headlining dates and a performance at this year's Austin City Limits music festival. These will be the first dates for the band in 2010. Blind Pilot toured for much of 2009, supporting bands like The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, and The Hold Steady, as well as playing a sold-out US headlining club tour, and appearing at festivals including Lollapalooza, Sasquatch, and Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival.
Comprised of founding members Israel Nebeker (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Dobrowski (drums), Blind Pilot is rounded out with Luke Ydstie (upright bass, backing vocals), Kati Claborn (banjo, dulcimer, ukulele, backing vocals), Ian Krist (vibraphone) and Dave Jorgensen (keyboard, trumpet).
The band's debut, 3 Rounds and a Sound, has earned Blind Pilot coverage on national radio (NPR's "Morning Edition" and "All Songs Considered"), and national television ("Last Call with Carson Daly").
