Performing mostly original songs played by seasoned musicians always leaves their audience wanting more.
“Mount Pilot has a penchant for writing songs” was quoted in a Gateway Macon article sighting the band as one of the Top 5 Influential Bands of the 90’s. Concentrating on the music first was the most important goal while allowing the fans to forget about their problems and escape into the magical fusion of the lyrics and the individual musician’s interpretations of the songs. Each musician has a storied and diverse background including Master’s degrees in music to Master’s degrees in living on the road that gives a perfect recipe of musical distinction.
The band has shared the stage with acts including Atlanta Rhythm Section, Drivin’ and Cryin’, Brother Cane w/Chuck Leavell, The Derek Trucks Band, The Winters Brothers Band, The Outlaws and many others developing deep connections to top musicians across the state. Musical guests join them on stage regularly leaving their fans wondering who might be sitting in at the next Mount Pilot show.
