Hailing from Portland, the band has found recent success with the release of their album And Then Like Lions in August 2016. The album reached #2 on theBillboard Americana / Folk charts. Originally a duo, Blind Pilot has grown to a six-piece band to create their signature sound and songs that address personal topics. “Umpqua Rushing” tackles a string of personal tragedies that frontman Israel Nebeker suffered, including the death of his father.
