Eastend Mile

Eastend Mile was formed in 2013 after Pittsburgh saxophonist Roger Romero and pianist Caleb Lombardi realized they shared a musical vision of creating a contemporary jazz sound for a new generation.

Equally influenced by artists like Robert Glasper and Brian Blade, the band recorded their first album, City Limits. After a short hiatus, musicians Dhruva Krishna and Chris “Tiggy” Thygesen joined the lineup adding a new, harder dimension to the band’s expanding sound.

In the summer of 2015, the band embarked on a six-city four-state tour of support of City Limits to rave reviews. This new lineup quickly honed their chops by pushing the sonic barriers of the group’s music by delving into their indie-rock, fusion, and hip-hop influences. Eastend Mile continues to perform across Pittsburgh and the northeast.

As always, Eastend Mile promises a radical new sound to all those willing to lend an ear.
