Pigeons Playing Ping Pong kept their 2019 winter tour going strong with a sold-out show at the Charleston Pour House in Charleston, SC earlier this week on Tuesday, where the popular jam band was joined by once again by emerging soul-rock outfit, The Fritz. The fun-loving jam quartet has made headlines so far on their 2019 tour with stand-out performances at the Jersey Shore in addition to a sold-out show for their headlining debut at The Capitol Theatre last month. Tuesday’s show kept the party going, helping fans in Charleston charge into the middle of the week with some extra funk in their step.
Pigeons’ first set started out hot with an opening performance of “Time To Ride”, followed by “Overrun”, “Walk Outside” and “Bad For You”, with the latter tune featuring a tease of the “Zelda Theme” as they’ve been known to do from time-to-time. The first half of the show continued with a nonstop flow of songs and jam-based instrumentals including “Somethin’ For Ya”, “Penguins”, “Funkijam”, and “Totally”. Following a brief pause, they kept going right with a run through “Spacejam” > “The Hop” > “F.U.” to close out the first set. Fans can watch the video below for an up-close look of the thrilling show opener of “Time To Ride”.

Set two opened with the band tearing into a funky rendition of “Fade Fast”, followed by “Yo Soy Fiesta”, although there was no invite to Rob Gronkowski to join in on the latter this time around. After continuing with”Henrietta”, the band took a rendition of “Drunk People” into a cover of The Steve Miller Band‘s “Abracadabra” and back into “Drunk People”. The action kept going towards the end of the show with a pair of fan-favorites, “Poseidon” and the lively “Live It Up”, to close out the set. The band returned for a one-song encore of “Ocean Flows” to bring the night’s fesivities to an end.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong will continue their run of shows throughout Florida into the weekend with a sold-out performance at The Social in Orlando on Thursday. Fans can head over to the band’s website for ticket info to all their upcoming performances.
