Vintage Pistol Live at Martin’s Downtown

One of those bands that will both captivate and confound you quickly. Taylor Smith, Walt Blythe, and Garrett August mingle elements of rock, funk, soul, pop, and improvisation, Vintage Pistol is a cosmic escape from another dimension while conveying a sensation of being comfortably safe at home. The connectivity of the band and their plethora of music styles has placed the group among one of the most exciting bands to arise from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. The band is comprised of giant rhythmic elements, exploratory guitars, a captivating key-world, a bold low end, and grabbing vocals with lyrics that feed the ears and quench the soul. You can often hear their conversations on stage about Good vs. Evil, inner battles, growth, and being one with the current moment. Expect to crave an escape: a trip to explore a vibe they understand well. This is a late evening early morning band that leaves no story untold. They are described by most as wild while sweet, rambunctious yet consistent, and fine-tuned yet jam heavy. They explode like a flint-rock spark to black powder and rage wildly and unpredictably throughout their shows. Their contagious energy and ability to connect has led to astonishing appearances at Summer Camp, Mountain Music Festival, Backwoods, Wakarusa, Spaceberry, Rochester Lilac Festival as well as critical acclaim from the likes of Live for Live Music, GratefulWeb, Relix Magazine, and Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast. The band has toured 5 weeks opening for Andy Frasco and the U.N. Supported TAUK, TAUKMoore, Big Something, Eggy, Lespecial. The band has toured the West Coast from L.A. to Seattle, The East Coast from Jacksonville to NYC and everywhere in between. The band’s primary ticketed markets are the central midwest. Colorado. Upstate New York. The Virginia’s. Kentucky.
