Lobero LIVE presents with special guest Andrew Duhon Tuesday, February 11 at 8 PM

Santa Barbara, CA, January 16, 2020 – Lobero LIVE welcomes Blind Pilot and special guest Andrew Duhon for a special evening on Tuesday, February 11 at 8 PM. Blind Pilot, which consists of Israel Nebeker, Ryan Dobrowski, Kati Claborn, Dave Jorgensen, Ian Krist and Luke Ydstie, was formed in Portland, in 2007 when songwriter Israel Nebeker and co-founding member Ryan Dobrowski went on a west coast tour via bicycle. Twelve years later, Blind Pilot has released three studio albums, 3 Rounds And A Sound (2008), We Are The Tide (2011) and And Then Like Lions (2016) and has sold out concerts throughout the U.S., Europe and the UK since its inception. The band has performed on “Ellen” and “The Late Show With David Letterman,” as well as at Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo, and among others.

Israel Nebeker’s intricate songs have made a meaningful connection to a worldwide audience. His strong lyricism and colorful melodies have anchored the critically-acclaimed band and their albums, in addition to numerous pop/folk tribute compilations to artists including John Denver, Jackson Browne, and a recent collaboration with Don Henley.

“The Portland, Ore., band makes wistful late-summer music — songs of reflection and connection, carried out in a subtle swirl of strings, horns, pianos and voices.” – NPR

New Orleans native Andrew Duhon, is a writer with an undeniable voice, weighted and soulful. His 2014 release, The Moorings, was nominated for a GRAMMYÒ for Best Engineered Album. Duhon's new record, False River, was produced by Eric Masse and was released in 2018
