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.

First time seeing this band. They put on such an amazing show. Extremely talented musicians. Would definitely pay to see them again. Also loved the two opening bands; Melt and the Infamous string dusters. Never heard of Melt before, now I can’t stop listening to them! The lead singer has the voice of an angel, so soulful. Everyone in that band is great, and I love their sound. Now a big Melt fan.
Bought tickets with the anticipation this was going to be on summer stage at the stone pony. last minute it was moved inside. no discount was given. the openers were GREAT. the main band didn't even go on until 10:30 pm when the show started at 6. at this point we were ready to leave. Not sure if the venue or the band is to blame on this one but i will probably not be going to any future shows. Last years show was incredible.. this year felt muddled and not managed.
It was a great show. Wish it was outside but still a great show.
This event was supposed to be out on the summer stage and a few weeks before, they announced they were moving it indoors. That was a terrible decision because it made this show completely oversold. I couldn't even stay for the whole thing because it was so uncomfortable inside with the amount of people in there. There was no room to move, it was hot, people were smelly, and if there had been any sort of emergency, it would have been absolute chaos. They should have kept it outside on the summer stage. Other than that, the staff I interacted with were all very pleasant and the bands were great!
Loved Melt! Didn't know what to expect. Came for the Dusters and they never disappoint! The Pigeons took a while to get on stage which was kind of a buzz kill. The music wasn't what I listen to but the band was tight. Not a big fan of looong songs but they are a jam band so...
Both bands were great. Sneezy got the party started & Pigeons brought it home. Long concert with great jamming tunes.
Everyone in the house was dialed in to the Pigeons.
Great show! These guys bring it for their live shows. Lots of smiles, dancing & fun all around. As an added bonus, the opening band, High Fade, was fantastic as well. That power trio from Scotland really brought it!
These guys went balls to the walls from the very beginning and kept it up the whole show! It was incredible and a life Changing experience. Will definitely go to another show and would be willing to travel to see them!
The band is simply amazing. A fresh breathe of air and one of a kind. The whole weekend was wholesome, fun, energetic and even had moments where every fan was singing along and pouring their hearts out back to the band with the deepness and uniqueness that is Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, thank you p4!
