Voodoo Pilot features original blues-rock and Americana. Chicago audiences have enjoyed their shows at venues like Fitzgerald's, Elbo Room, Lyons Den, Beat Kitchen, Gunther Murphy's, Goose Island, The Heartland Café, Uncommon Ground and Phyllis' Musical Inn.
In 2001, the five member Voodoo Pilot released a five song self-titled EP. 2003's "Sometimes" keeps John Liggett on Lead Vocal and Rhythm Guitar and Bill Galey on Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Keyboard and Background Vocal and adds Pete Senger on Bass Guitar and Rick Conlon on Drums.
The band recently opened for Roomful of Blues and The Fabulous Thunderbirds as a part of the Chicago Summer Concert Series. Voodoo Pilot was also featured on WXRT's Local Anesthetic and CAN TV's Expose. The EXPOSE show included an interview with the band and a 3-song performance.
Voodoo Pilot is currently performing in the Chicago area and working on their 3rd release after 2001's 5 song EP and 2003's CD, Sometimes.

"'Sometimes' is a soft, gentle lullaby, and sounds sort of like an in-tune Neil Young doing a revised version of Ryan Adams' 'Gimme Sunshine'." Matthew Pollesel, Splendid Magazine
"... magical and hypnotic...featuring righteous riffin'..." Richard Milne, 93.1 WXRT
"...rocking originals" JD, Noreasterzine Reviews
"Influenced by the Delta Blues...Voodoo Pilot gets it right." David Lockeretz, Muses Muse

a blend of rock n' blues that definitely has plenty of passion
author: Jennifer Patton of Delusions of Adequacy
"Songs like "I'm Gone" and "I Don't Learn" remind me very much of the Black Keys, without the really fuzzed-out guitar and feedback. These two songs really showcase what Voodoo Pilot appears to be all about - creating blues rock with energy to spare that will really make you move. Other tracks like "River" are very much akin to the 70's rock vibe, with frolicking guitar riffs and an on-target rhythm section and they round out the group's sound quite nicely.
I love that Voodoo Pilot chose to include a bonus track in the form of the live tune "Devil is Dead." The sound quality is great and the best way to experience just about any band is without any sort of studio tinkering. When you are unfamiliar with a group, you have no way of knowing just how similar their recording will sound to the real deal. With that in mind, it's nice to hear "Devil is Dead" and know that what you hear on this entire EP is what you get seeing the group live."

"fresh, interesting tunes"
author: Mike O'Cull of Chicagogigs.com
"The disc has electric and acoustic elements to it that exist quite harmoniously with one another, cool vocal hooks courtesy of lead singer John Liggett, and fiery lead and slide guitar played by Bill Galey. Standout cuts include "I’m Gone," which rocks like a freight train coming and the title track "Sometimes," which really shows Liggett’s Neil Young influence without crossing the line into sound-alike territory. All in all, this is a fun and satisfying CD for anyone into classic blues/folk rock sounds, great songwriting and musicianship, and all the other cool things rock and roll used to be about before it turned into one big explosion of anger. Voodoo Pilot brings it old school and comes across like a big breath of fresh air in the process. This is good stuff from a band that deserves a larger audience."
