Matt Crutcher from the "Casual Encounters" section off Craigslist.
With the stars aligned during conception, Painted Blind was born.
Soon after recruiting Austin Nicks in early November, the band
began to play relentlessly in Nashville and surrounding areas
to spread word of their soon to be released EP. Painted Blind
released their self titled EP in early April of 2011, and released
their single "Sweet Rain" on to the radio airwaves in May.

opening act for up and coming artist Redlight King. They're a
blender of catchy riffs, intense performance, and melodic lyrics
that cut through the multitude of the suface noise of Nashville.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind: and
