Few bands command a stage, or a crowd, quite like Baltimore’s Pigeons Playing Ping Pong.

Driven by an infectious live energy and a relentless touring schedule spanning nearly two

decades, the dynamic quintet—

”Scrambled Greg” Ormont [vocals, guitar], Jeremy Schon [guitar,

vocals], Ben Carrey [bass, vocals], Alex "Gator" Petropulos [drums, vocals], and new member

Jon Brady [keys, vocals]—has built an undeniable reputation as one of the most electric live

acts on the tour circuit today.

To experience Pigeons Playing Ping Pong live is to step into a high-octane celebration powered

by soaring jams, infectious funk, and the unmatched energy of their devoted fanbase, The

Flock. Their signature dynamic psychedelic funk sound, a seamless fusion of soaring guitar

solos, danceable grooves, explosive rhythms, and exploratory jamming, turns every show into a

unified, high-voltage dance party.

"Making music and connecting with people feels like

something we were born to do,

" explains Ormont.

"We have an unwavering commitment to keep

evolving together.

"

That evolution reached a major milestone when the band officially welcomed longtime

collaborator Jon Brady as their newest official member. After enriching the group's sonic

textures with frequent guest appearances on stage and in the studio, Brady’s full integration was

announced in unforgettable fashion via a surprise on-stage proposal during Domefest. The

band's annual music festival recently celebrated its biggest event yet at ACE Adventure Resort

in New River Gorge, WV, showcasing a thriving, joyful community at its absolute peak.

While recent releases like their eighth studio album, Feed The Fire, capture their sharpened

musicianship, exploratory arrangements, and collaborative spirit, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong

remain a force best experienced in the wild. Refreshingly dynamic, irresistibly danceable, and

forever fueled by their road-tested chemistry, they continue to ignite crowds and push their sonic

boundaries from coast to coast. As Ormont sums it up best,

"We've been given the gift of this

passion. So it's our responsibility to nurture it, embrace it, and spread it wild. Because when the

band and fans reach new heights together, that's where the real magic happens."
