EVENT DESCRIPTION
Rick Maguire (from Pile)
w/ Pit Stop and Jo Kellen
Pile is an American indie rock band originally from Boston, Massachusetts now based in Nashville, Tennessee. Starting as the solo act of Rick Maguire in the late 2000s, Pile has been a collective since the release of Magic Isn’t Real in 2010. To date, Pile has released seven full-length albums. In recent years the band has gained increasing popularity, becoming a prominent part of the Boston indie rock scene and frequently touring through both the US and Europe. While remaining outside of the mainstream, the band has been repeatedly recognized for captivating a particularly enthusiastic and dedicated fan base. While the band is known for its dynamic and bombastic live performances, Maguire recontextualizes the material by performing on his own, something he has continued to do throughout the project’s history. 2021 saw documentation of this aspect of Pile in Songs Known Together, Alone, a solo re-imagining of 15 songs across Pile’s catalog. In 2022, Maguire will be performing across US and Canada to support the release.
Minneapolis-based, Pit Stop plays original tunes combining elements of Americana, Blues, Country, Folk, Rock and a dash of Doo-wop.
Inspired by the sound and songwriting of The Byrds, Canned Heat, Connie Francis, Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt and The Velvet Underground, Pit Stop has a familiar yet singular sound.
Jo Kellen is a musician, writer, and performance maker. Besides solo work, They play in the Florists, Products, Prathloons, and Fight.
