Formed in Austin, TX, Pompeii are best known for their melodic and ambient rock sound, which features the addition of a cello. The band has toured extensively, alongside groups such as The Appleseed Cast, The Velvet Teen, Headlights, Caspian, Mates of State and This Will Destroy You. In 2009, they embarked on their first European tour and performed in over 7 different countries. Pompeii have received worldwide attention and critical acclaim from such outlets as American Songwriter Magazine, Alternative Press, Filter, NPR, Apple and MTV. They are currently working on a third full length.

I’m scheduled to play a few select solo shows, but if you show up to ANY of the shows at all, I’ll do my best to play whatever Pompeii song(s) you’d like to hear! Even if it’s in a parking lot or out on a lawn. If you live in a town where a house show is taking place, simply message me on Facebook and/or Twitter and I’ll give you the address.
