SUMMARY:Pigeons Playing Ping Pong w/Dogs in a Pile @ The Sovereign
DESCRIPTION:“We pour every ounce of ourselves into every note when we perform live\,” says Pigeons Playing Ping Pong singer/guitarist Greg Ormont. “When we’re recording in the studio\, we try to maintain that euphoria while finding a way to pack it into a tight\, focused vessel. Each song becomes like a spring-loaded can of worms: there’s all this energy boxed up in a neat little package\, and then when you come see us live\, the cap comes off and the contents fly out in every direction like fireworks.” \nBlending infectious funk grooves\, psychedelic jams\, and experimental electronics\, the Baltimore four-piece’s new album\, ‘Pizazz\,’ is a buoyant\, blissful reminder of just how much fun music can be. Eschewing the traditional funk band lineup that typically includes keyboards\, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong constructs effervescent soundscapes with just two guitars\, bass\, and drums\, crafting their music with a sophisticated ear for both open space and dense layering. \nSince the group’s inception nearly a decade ago at the University of Maryland (where the band’s name came to Greg Ormont and singer/guitarist Jeremy Schon during a moment of transcendence in Psych 100)\, they’ve built up a reputation as one of the most engaging and life-affirming acts on the road\, maintaining a relentless tour schedule that has them performing up to 200 shows a year and hitting festivals from coast to coast.

SUMMARY:Renaissance @ Wildey Theater
DESCRIPTION:BIG UNEXPECTED NEWS!  A once in a Renaissance lifetime event!!\n\nMessage From Annie Haslam – “This is where the BIG news started\, in Edwardsville\, Illinois originally last October and the last two shows on our In Gratitude Farewell tour. Memorable shows\, lovely enthusiastic audience and beautiful intimate theater – The Wildey!  Then\, moving forward to August 2025\, I was approached by an Edwardsville/St Louis promoter to return to the Wildey Theatre for a ‘one woman” show!  After many phone calls\, it was decided to go ahead but with some music added… and then it just grew a lot bigger from there\, that now included Renaissance. These will be once in a lifetime shows\, presenting a format I would never have dreamed up myself. Kudos to the promoter who talked me into this.  It brought me together again with my old friend and founder of Renaissance as well as the The Yardbirds\, Jim McCarty to partner up to discuss the history of Renaissance. It will be followed by Jim along with Renaissance (including me) performing several of his songs\, then Renaissance will take the stage. An evening of the best Symphonic Rock music ever\, no doubt we really have come full circle!”\n\nThere will be two shows at the Wildey Theater\, Edwardsville\, Illinois\, on November 21st and 22nd.
