The Pitt – Jitensha

Hot Plate Brewing Co. has teamed up with Pittsfield-based businesses and organizations including Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. to bring you a free outdoor summer music series in Dunham Mall. They’ll be a beer garden, food vendors, and awesome performers!

Jitensha is the indie-pop love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. Their sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With just vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. Lyrically, the duo toes the line between realism and optimism, focusing on social justice, environment, and psychology, bringing you on a winsome journey of modern human experience.
