Event
Blind Pilot w/ Cory Chisel at the Linen Building
Music from Stanley presents folk-poppers Blind Pilot Live at the Linen Oct. 1
Cory Chisel will open
Portland folk-pop favorites Blind Pilot will perform Live at the Linen at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, at the Linen Building, 1402 W. Grove St. in Downtown Boise's Linen District. All ages. Beer and wine (I.D. required). Tickets are $12 advance or $14 day of show. Advance tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug 20 and are available at the Record Exchange or brownpapertickets.com.
Blind Pilot will be playing the headlining role as a six-piece band, a far cry from its beginning as a duo that toured the West Coast on bicycles (twice), becoming national media darlings in the process.
Since those first bicycle-driven tours, Blind Pilot has had one of its singles be chosen as the iTunes Single of the Week ("Go On, Say It"), and the band's most recent release, 3 Rounds and a Sound, hit No. 13 on the Billboard Top Digital Albums chart and has been featured on NPR's Morning Edition.
Paste magazine says Blind Pilot "sounds a lot like what James Mercer of The Shins would sound like if he recorded a solo acoustic album. And there are trumpets, lots of trumpets. It's quite wonderful." Allmusic.com says Blind Pilot "strikes a balance between mellow folk and West Coast indie pop." New York Post calls the band's music "ethereal."

Opening for Blind Pilot is Cory Chisel. Chisel will be supporting his full-length debut Death Won't Send a Letter. The songs on Death Won't Send A Letter were recorded primarily at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN with Chisel's backing vocalist/keyboard player Adriel Harris and "Little Jack" Lawrence (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather) on initial tracking. Cory, Adriel and Little Jack were then joined by Jack's longtime collaborator Patrick Keeler (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes) on drums. With Patrick and Jack's driving rhythm section the albums' sound took on a grittier hue. And in Brendan Benson Cory found a writing and arranging partner that birthed the lead album track "Born Again." Carl Broemel from My Morning Jacket also contributes on guitar.
