Our friend Dave joined Blind Pilot a few months ago, playing trumpet and keyboards. I already loved the Blind Pilot record beforehand so it's pretty fantastic to see someone you know playing up on a stage with a band you love. And he recently got married to his longtime love, Kate. Everything is gravy.

Blind Pilot at the Edgefield opening for Andrew Bird and the Decemberists. woohoo!
