The John Pita Band blends acoustic rhythyms with jazzy interludes which makes for the unique sound heard on their newest cd titled "Some Strange Reason". Often compared to mainstream artist John Mayer, the band remains original with their strong jazz undertones combined with their contemporary lyrics. Lead vocalist John Pita formed the band after making his own solo album in 2004. After realizing that a solo career wouldn't be compatible with his larger vision, Pita joined with a few close friends and formed what is now known as The John Pita Band. The current band consists of John Pita playing acoustic and lead vocals, Steve Currie on bass and BGV's, Nick Lietzinger on drums, Justin Loose on electric guitar, and Jonathan Mendoza on the sax. They are also currently based out of Dallas.
