Pilgrim

Pilgrim was a unique four-piece band that emerged from the fertile musical grounds of northern New Jersey in late 1993. Dave Landolin (acoustic guitar, vocals), Kevin Behan (accordion, bouzouki), Michael Scudillo (bass guitar), and Chris Tufaro (drums) merged their talents to form what proved to be one of the area's most innovative bands. Their approach to rock, utilizing acoustic guitar, accordion and Irish bouzouki, layered above a hard driving rhythm section, put them in a category of their own. Reviews: quot;A unique sound. Songs like 'Laughing Like Gods' are boosted by introspective lyrics.quot; Cathie Coleman (The Aquarian) quot;A cluster of infectious pop tunes, each with clear, melodic vocals and folk driven melodies.quot; Kelly-Jane Cotter (The Home News) quot;a pleasure to listen to. Pleasant, melodic and understated. The band is called Pilgrim after all. Someone has to arrive first.quot; Richard John Cummins (The Music Paper) quot;The songs explore the various vagaries and unanswered questions in life. An intriguing listenquot; Tom Brebric (Jersey Beat) quot;a folkish feel, great pop hooks..a promising start from a potentially great band.quot; Al Muzer (The Aquarian) quot;Swirling accordion rhythms wrap around the solid drums and quick guitar riffing to make it just like it should be.quot; Bob Makin (The Aquarian)
