About

P!lot is an indie pop project with a quirky and ethereal sound — accented unique instruments: Casio, ukulele, saxophone, mellotron, omnichord. P!lot has been compared to artists like Chairlift, Regina Spektor, Frankie Cosmos, Oh Land and Geneva Jacuzzi.

Originally, Brooklyn-based, P!lot flew down South in 2019, and now resides in Charleston, SC. Erel Pilo leads the project by writing the songs and singing leads. The band includes Kate Collins (omnichord / vocals), Jaylen Davis (saxophone), Suzie Raga (drums) and Aron Simons (bass).

Supporting on the bill is Atlanta songwriter Lianne Hutcheson, whose music weaves together blues, jazz, americana, and rock into soulful reflections. P!lot's set will include special guest, Indigo Phoenix for a night of art pop and indie rock.

The minimalist lyrics, jangling tunes and lighthearted melodies on the spellbinding album transport the listener to a simpler time.” - Chelsea Grinstead
