Episode 109 - Life Is Live With Greg Ormont From Pigeons Playing Ping Pong

Published: July 14, 2019, 9:55 p.m.

b"Our guest this week is the one and only (scrambled) Greg Ormont from Pigeons Playing Ping Pong. We talk to Greg about what it means to give 100%, how to balance work and life in a way that\\u2019s meaningful, realizing that at some point we have to take care of ourselves, how being a theater kid gave him a solid foundation, and a whole bunch more!\\nPigeons Playing Ping Pong is a band whose very existence is rooted in the unyielding quest for joy and positive energy. Blending infectious funk grooves, psychedelic jams, and experimental electronics, the Baltimore four-piece\\u2019s new album, \\u2018Pizazz,\\u2019 is a buoyant, blissful reminder of just how much fun music can be. Eschewing the traditional funk band lineup that typically includes keyboards, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong constructs effervescent soundscapes with just two guitars, bass, and drums, crafting their music with a sophisticated ear for both open space and dense layering.\\nCatch pigeons out on the road this Fall and for merch, tour news, bio info, and more go to:\\nhttp://pigeonsplayingpingpong.com/\\n***THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY THE AMAZING AND INCREDIBLE CBD VERMONT,\\xa0SHOP TOUR BUS & DEFYNE PREMIUM CANNABIS!!!!\\nSHOP TOUR BUS:Visit shoptourbus.com or @shoptourbus on IG and pick up some wonderfully creative and beautiful Grateful Dead inspired shirts/hoodies.
