Thanks Blind Pilot!!

Blind Pilot leaves Missoula middle-schoolers in awe ahead of Wilma show Israel Nebeker rises to his tiptoes as he sings.

Blind Pilot rocked Missoula County Public Schools today. They will rock The Wilma tonight. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen (especially the Big Dipper Ice Cream for sponsoring!)

Honored and excited that Blind Pilot will be swinging by Washington Middle School on Monday to perform and talk with over 800 public school students about art, music and life.
Special thanks to Big Dipper Ice Cream for providing financial and moral support for this one.
I don't think these kids yet know how rad their Monday is going to be.

Thanks to the Missoulian for this great coverage.

World-traveling cellist tells students risks, making lists are key to success When Philip Sheppard was young, his music teachers told him not to play other kinds of music on his cello and stick with classical composers.

Cellist Phillip Sheppard running a master class with 50+ Missoula area musicians at Washington Middle school. After an assembly with over 700 kids talking about his choices in life and how they have made him who he is, he spent some extra time with this group talking rhythm and working together.

Butterscotch killed it a Washington Middle School (650 kids). Sentinel this afternoon and The Top Hat tonight.
