"About to go in."
Visually stunning!
Puccini's in Cumberland, MD has the best pizza period.

You get a pizza, and you get a pizza, and you get a pizza! Everyone gets pizza (less Alison) at Barley's Taproom in Knoxville.
After five consecutive days of shows, PitchBlak spent a well deserved day off in Asheville. I checked out the Moog Music store and got to play a theremin for the first time. It was nuts! Looking forward to playing at the Asheville Music Hall Friday night with my main dude Philo.

Collaborating with Pharoahe Monch for Ecstatic Music Festival was a night I'll never forget. I hope we get to do it again!
Here's a peek at the drum set up:

It was a pleasure to arrange 8 tunes for Maryland's own Bond St. District for the PitchBlak Playlist series. I had no shame in telling a room of New Yorkers that Maryland is the greatest state in the country!
Looking forward to sharing some videos from this special night. Everyone worked their butts off to deliver an unforgettable night of music!
On Monday, PitchBlak had our first rehearsal for our upcoming Ecstatic Music Festival concert with Pharoahe Monch. In additional to our usual instrumentation, we are performing with a string quartet and vocalist. This is a concert not to be missed! Grab tickets here. I swear I'm looking at the metronome app and not Twitter in this picture.
