Choose to Find + Neil Pearlman's Fiddle Jam

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Choose to Find is an unconventional rock group that uses a combination of acoustic piano and electric guitar as the primary melodic voices. This configuration has helped Choose to Find carve their own spot somewhere in between the post-rock and jazz genres.

Pianist and mandolinist Neil Pearlman is rapidly distinguishing himself as a uniquely innovative artist in the contemporary traditional music scene. Called “a tremendous pianist” on BBC Radio Scotland and “a force to be reckoned with” by WGBH’s Brian O’Donovan, Neil is recognized in many Celtic music circles for his unique approach to the piano.
