Sid The Cat Presents Pino Palladino & Blake Mills Feat. Chris Dave and Sam Gendel (Night 1) 11/9/2025 at Zebulon 21+ Bassist Pino Palladino and guitarist Blake Mills don’t make obvious music. Instead, their collaborative work moves with a deep, unshakable pocket—even when rhythm feels elusive—and carries a harmonic language that’s as rich as it is mysterious. There is subtlety at play, but it’s not softness. It’s precision, intention, and a quiet kind of daring. Their second instrumental album, That Wasn’t a Dream, expands on the joy of discovery that animated 2021’s Notes With Attachments. Built around the kind of deep musical chemistry that makes spontaneous composition feel effortless, it drifts between form and freedom. Both artists are revered for their accomplishments, yet neither is bound by them. The Grammy-winning Palladino has reshaped what bass can be in popular music, performing with everyone from D’Angelo to Nine Inch Nails, from Erykah Badu to John Mayer. Meanwhile, Grammy-winning and two-time Producer of the Year-nominee Mills is one of today’s most sought-after producers and multi-instrumentalists, known for his work with Alabama Shakes, Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, and Perfume Genius. Together, they dissolve any sense of hierarchy.
