Get ready for Pivot! Pivot is proof Akron rocks and that the music scene is alive and thriving.
Pivot play 90’s rock covers with a unique edge led by vocalist Jessica West, guitarist Jacob Gall, bassist Cameron Sharp and drummer Joe Moore. ” Jessica West (Akron) is lead vocalist and will be implementing her ukulele into the acoustic set that is currently in the works. Jacob Gall (Akron) is lead guitarist and also plays bass in a Minerva based band called Kindred Roots. Joe Moore (Kent) is the drummer. Cameron Sharp (Mentor) is the bassist who is currently taking lessons from Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle and Thirty Seconds to Mars.)”
“We love all the 90’s grunge/alternative greats that we grew up with and shaped who we are today. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Cranberries, Blink 182, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers,” said Jessica. “Pivot is an alternative band covering 90’s and some early 2000’s. We are working on a few originals but not rushing the creative process. I am the vocalist, Jessica West. Guitarist Jacob Gall and I are former coworkers and we started a little acoustic project for fun back in 2020. It wasn’t until October of 2023 that we decided to start a full rock band. It didn’t take long to put a group together who had the same drive and vision and we hit the ground running. We have a killer three hour setlist, and on top of that, we’re working on an acoustic set that will implement my ukulele and Camerons flute.”
“Jacob describes it perfectly when he says that music is an escape from reality. There has always been an undeniable pull towards music that makes you feel things that only music can make you feel. We like to share that feeling with others as often as we can. We want to achieve years of experience playing live and sharing our bands chemistry and sound with anyone who will hang around to listen.”
” I think we all agree that music is the greatest emotional outlet there is and we try to express that through our performance. The songs we choose are the soundtrack to our early years and it’s awesome to have the opportunity to reflect that on stage. Our band clicks very well! We all have the same great level of commitment, discipline, and passion for what we’re doing. On top of that, our individual input on song choices are always in accord with each other and the bands vision.”
While Pivot is keeping hot new cover songs on board they are also working on some new originals to add to their intense set list. “We are working on our second original song that will hopefully be released in the coming months. Our first original is called “Like Rain” and is currently on all music platforms.” Be sure to keep Pivot on your social media platforms to keep track of all their news and shows because Pivot are a must see band and definitely one band you want to experience live.
