Blind Pilot Biography:

After a bicycle tour of the West Coast in 2007, Nebeker and Dobrowski returned to their hometown of Portland, Oregon, to record an album. Though they'd been playing together as a folk-pop duo called Blind Pilot, their hometown shows can bring out a nine-piece band. Since releasing their debut in 2008, the band has been featured on NPR and toured with fellow Portlanders the Decemberists, as well as Counting Crows, the Hold Steady, and others.
