Piedmont Piano Company

Longtime musical associates Scott Amendola and Wil Blades have been playing as a duo for over 20 years as “Amendola Vs. Blades.” They play a genre bending blend of Funk, Bebop, Afro Beat, Avant Garde and more. Their shows have been lauded for their ability to sound like a huge band, even though they are only two musicians. For this special one-off Bay Area date, they will be joined by special guests Kasey Knudsen on sax and Ryan Schaeffer on guitar.
