Pilot the Son

About Me

Pilot the Son's second full length album "The Beautiful Decent" is nothing less than the most creative work to date for the brainchild of Matt Osterhoudt. Combining pop, indie, and alternative, the November 2007 Release is inspired by family, friends, life, love, loss, bravery, and most importantly hope.HISTORY OF THE PILOT: Matt spent his college days playing indie rock music in Raleigh, North Carolina in the mid 90s. After graduating, he moved to Sarasota, Florida where he joined up with the indie rock band The Nuevos. While he continues to keep his day job as the guitarist for the The Nuevos, Pilot the Son started as a way for him to explore the ten thousand emotions of becoming a parent. Inpsired by the birth of his daugher, Pilot the Son recorded his first album "Let's Dance".
