Two of folk music’s most captivating storytellers are joining forces for one unforgettable night. Blind Pilot and John Craigie bring their co-billed tour to Quarry Park Amphitheatre on Friday, June 19th, 2026, for an evening of heartfelt songs, honest narratives, and the kind of music that reminds you why live performances matter.

Portland-based Blind Pilot has spent years crafting elegantly composed indie folk that feels both intimate and expansive. Fronted by Israel Nebeker and co-founded with drummer Ryan Dobrowski, the band emerged from a period of creative rebirth with their 2024 album In the Shadow of the Holy Mountain, their first release in eight years. Known for their exquisite fluidity and undeniable chemistry, Blind Pilot has shared stages with The Shins, Andrew Bird, and Gregory Alan Isakov, and performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. Their songs are built on a rich palette of instrumentation, from banjo and upright bass to trumpet and vibraphone, all woven together with extraordinary care and spontaneity. The band famously toured by bicycle from Bellingham to San Diego in their early days, carrying their instruments on custom trailers, and that spirit of adventure still runs through everything they create.

John Craigie is a modern-day troubadour in the truest sense. Renowned for his eloquent Americana style and off-the-cuff clever observations, Craigie blends folk songwriting with humorous storytelling in a way that dares you to reflect on the human condition, often with a smile. Drawing comparisons to John Prine and carrying on the legacy of classic singer-songwriters like Woody Guthrie, Craigie has built a devoted following through relentless touring and nine studio albums that showcase his knack for captivating narratives. His live performances are where the magic truly happens, mixing heartfelt songs with witty stories that take poetic turns before bringing you back home. Jack Johnson discovered Craigie’s music on a drive up the California coast and immediately asked him to open 11 dates of his 2017 tour, later bringing him onstage to co-perform Craigie’s song “I Wrote Mr. Tambourine Man.”

This co-billed show means you’re getting full sets from both artists, each bringing their unique voice and perspective to the stage. Whether it’s Blind Pilot’s lush arrangements and emotionally charged vocals or John Craigie’s candid narratives and rustic aural palettes, this is an evening built for those who appreciate the craft of songwriting and the power of a story well told. Experience these two incredible acts under the stars at Quarry Park’s intimate open-air amphitheatre, where the tiered grass seating creates the perfect setting for music that connects us all.
