TUNES FOR TRUCKERS
The core members of the folk-pop band Blind Pilot-- singer-guitarist
Israel Nebeker and drummer Ryan Dobrowski--have performed up and down
the West Coast while traveling by bicycle. The first of the pair's
two major tours, which was supposed to take them all the way from
Vancouver to the Mexico border, came to a sudden halt when their
bicycles were stolen outside the Museum of Modern Art in San
Francisco. Nebeker and Dobrowski, who met at college in Eugene,
Oregon, wrote many of their songs in an old cannery structure in
Astoria--where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific, and where
hundreds of cyclists have either begun or ended their cross-country
treks on the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail. Listen to the rest of their story at this link to National Public Radio's Morning Edition tinyurl.com/cct7qv and there's a video on the NPR page.
