Macon Music Live presents Mt Pilot and Jupiter Coyote

The friendship between Mt Pilot and Jupiter Coyote goes back many decades.  For the first time in many years, they are excited to be sharing the stage for one night to celebrate the release of Mt Pilot's new album recorded at the Historic Capricorn Studios.

Mount Pilot formed in middle Georgia in 1992 with members from Nuclear Fishin’ and the Piedmont Cooks as well as other local musicians in middle Georgia. The band played the circuit from 1992-1995 developing a loyal following with live shows that are still talked about to this day. Made up of the 6 core members Chris Moorman, Mark Trawick, Ethan Hamlin, Jesse Perkins, Evan Godbee and Travis Bryant, the band is back and stronger than ever. 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.

In the course of their 34 year history, Jupiter Coyote has played over five thousand shows, traveled everywhere and done just about everything a touring band can do. The innovative group has independently sold over a million CDs, tens of thousands of downloads, and who knows how many bootlegs they cut loose to fans for free. JC is brand name, and a pioneering cornerstone in the jam band scene. They have been called the new twist in southern rock and they deliver it with a relaxed, worldly view. Their sound has been labeled “Mountain Rock” — a mixture of Southern Appalachian boogie, bluegrass-infused, funk-rock.

JC plays it the way they feel it — with little regard as to where they fall between the cracks of what is considered trendy and fashionable. A band prolific in its writing, skilled in its musicianship and congenial in its nature, they remain the prototype of the truly independent band. They handle all business in-house and own their own record label, which is distributed internationally through Red Eye Worldwide.
