Portland, Oregon-based Blind Pilot has landed among the top indie-pop-folk bands in the country with television appearances on Ellen and The Late Show With David Letterman, and performances at Bonnaroo and the Newport Folk Festival. The band’s lead singer and primary songwriter Israel Nebeker visited with host John Floridis backstage at the Wilma Theater in Missoula to talk about the process of recording their most recent album, “And Then Like Lions."

(Broadcast: "Musicians' Spotlight,"  3/30/17 and 6/15/17. Listen weekly on on the radio Thursdays, 7:30 p.m., or via podcast.)
