Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in Concert
Funky jam group Pigeons Playing Ping Pong formed in 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland, when its original members met in a University of Maryland dorm. Releasing their first LP, ‘Funk E P,' the following year, the band would quickly find their sound in an explosive, energetic mix of funk, jazz, and electronic music reminiscent of Phish, Lettuce, and even the Grateful Dead. Their second album, ‘Psychology' (2014), upped their game and featured better production, tighter songwriting, and more focused singing from vocalists Greg Ormont, Jeremy Schon, and Ben Carrey. In 2016's ‘Pleasure,' the band delivered a cornucopia of wailing organs, sprawling melodies, shimmering backbeats, and groovy riffs. The group served up more lighthearted, sprawling psych-tinged funk with 2017's ‘Pizazz.' Their single "Doc" found them thriving with crisp horns and saxophones, while the seductive, groovy "Somethin' For Ya" shows how a little disco goes a long way when it comes to infusing their music with sexiness.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong has taken on a pretty hearty touring schedule, sometimes playing up to 200 shows a year. In addition, they've hosted Domefest in Bedford, Pennsylvania, since 2009, attracting nearly 2,000 people every year. Their passionate fanbase, affectionately called "The Flock," turns out to see them whenever possible, including for their New Year's Eve headlining shows. This in addition to their numerous officially released live recordings, which give a window into the raucous parties that are Pigeons Playing Ping Pong shows. 2017's ‘The Great Outdoors Jam' captured the ethereal vibes, locked-in grooves, and wayward solos that can be found in their live shows. In 2018, they hit their first Bonnaroo, continuing their ascent. As guitarist and singer Jeremy Schon tells it, their live show "puts out as much energy as possible and promotes lightheartedness and positivity." Suffice it to say, these funk obsessives must be seen live to be truly experienced.

Rating: 5 out of 5 My First Post-COVID Concert Was A Jam...band
by Brian on 12/7/22Jefferson Theater - CharlottesvilleTowards the beginning of this year, Spotify had recommended Pigeons to me and many of their songs were quickly added to my favorites. I think it was Spotify again that notified me that they would be playing at The Jefferson Theater in December. I got my ticket a couple of days before the show and excitedly made the drive to Charlottesville for my first jam-band experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the music, the crowed, and the venue. It was nice to get lost in the music and the crowd again. The opener Yam Yam was also an excellent discovery which I will have to keep an eye out for. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the next time Pigeons will be playing in the area!

by TommyBoy on 12/5/22Jefferson Theater - CharlottesvilleHad a great time at The Jefferson in Charlottesville jamming with The Yam Yams and Pigeons Playing Pingpong. A Great venue for a show. Not a bad place to view the stage anywhere. The Yam Yams got the night started and threw in a couple of great, unexpected old school songs by Hall and Oates and the Bee Gees. PPP finished out the night with a high energy set and great light show. Loved all the merch too. So happy ti pick posters and pins from both bands. Can't wait to go back for another show.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Welcoming guest experience
by B. DeRoo on 10/17/22House of Blues Orlando - OrlandoHouse of Blues did an amazing job setting the stage for Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. Entry into the venue was easy with no wait. Luckily, they have snacks along with beverages at the venue given the early timing of the show. Check out the opener for the full experience! Whoever picked the opening band did a great job pairing the style to 'Pigeons'. Explore upstairs during the interlude and enjoy a smoke on the porch or the art and band merch! There's so much to this venue and the techs did an amazing job with sound and light quality. The crowd at Pigeons Playing Ping Pong always feels like family. It's nice to feel at home in the space too.
Rating: 2 out of 5 OVERSOLD
by Pizzasaurus1348 on 10/4/22Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimoreSoundstage was completely oversold. Felt dangerously packed. DON'T OVERSELL THE VENUE! Show however, was amazing. The Pigeons guys slayed, as is tradition.
Rating: 4 out of 5 PPPP is amazing, Soundstage oversold
by Grassman on 10/4/22Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimoreGreat show as usual from Pigeons. They continue to get better, and are always entertaining. If there's any critique in the less-than-stellar, it'd be that their second-set jams are a little - droll - sometimes? But they always pull back and kick it in the groin later. Soundstage however, completely oversold the show. Packed like sardines. Compare to the always awesome 8x10, who sold just enough tix for the two shows just before this to be full, but not "packed". Doesn't make for a good experience if you have to walk sideways.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Pigeons are Awesome! Baltimore Soundstage is not.
by MF on 10/4/22Baltimore Soundstage - BaltimorePigeons are incredible! High energy funk, sure to be a ridiculously fun show packed with grooves and jams guaranteed to get you moving! Baltimore Soundstage is however the worst venue in the DMV, constanty oversold and uncomfortably packed inside. Dark and depressing inside and random water leaks from the ceiling.
