Secret Show at The Pilot Light feat. Greg Saunier

We’re partnering with The Pilot Light, Knoxville’s home for independent and experimental music, to host a secret show at the beloved Old City venue on Friday, March 24. The surprise performance will be part of The Pilot Light’s Hello City series, an “indigenous companion” to the festival featuring music from underground favorites throughout the weekend. Mum’s the word on details… but we can let you know that Greg Saunier, perhaps best known as the frenetic drummer of Deerhoof, will be involved. Keep an eye on Big Ears socials and The Pilot Light’s website for more details as the event date gets closer.
