The Pitchers: A Musical Journey of Faith, Love, and (Don’t) “Dance with the Devil”
At the heart of every great band is a story. Ours, The Pitchers, isn’t just about music—it’s about faith, love, and the beauty of timing. As a male-female duo, we’re excited to finally bring our sound to life with our first single, (Don’t) “Dance with the Devil.” But before we get into that, let us take you on a journey of how The Pitchers came to be.
A Faithful Beginning at Berklee College of Music
The seeds of The Pitchers were sown more than a decade ago when Candice and I met at Berklee College of Mu
sic. We first crossed paths through the Berklee Christian Fellowship group on Massachusetts Avenue, and without that fateful encounter, it’s hard to say if we’d even be here today—either as a couple or as a music group. That fellowship became the backdrop for not only our friendshipbut also the deep foundation of faith that still grounds us. We clicked right away, not just musically but spiritually, and that connection has only grown stronger over the years.
A Friendship that Stood the Test of Time
For years, we remained close friends, supporting each other’s dreams and creative endeavors. Through life’s twists and turns, we saw each other evolve as artists and individuals. But it took Pitch (aka Jonathan Michael Pitcher) a bit longer to realize what was right in front of him all along—Candice, the gem of a woman who was not only his creative partner but his soulmate. Fast forward a decade, and Pitch finally got smart, took the plunge, and asked Candice out.
One and a half years later, after a whirlwind of laughter, creative collaborations, and many late-night talks, I (Pitch) put a ring on her finger! Now, we’re happily engaged and working on setting a wedding date and venues. But of course, that’s not the only big thing happening in our lives. The next chapter involves something equally exciting—the launch of our music group, The Pitchers.
Meet The Pitchers—Our Music Duo
We wanted to create something that reflects not only our love for music but also the message we stand for: faith, truth, and hope. Our music is eclectic, ranging from pop and rock to worship, all with a focus on creating content that feels clean and uplifting, something listeners can enjoy in any setting—whether at home with family or out with friends. We aim to write songs that not only entertain but inspire, provoke thought, and most importantly, connect deeply with our audience.
Our First Release: (Don’t) “Dance with the Devil”
Our debut single, (Don’t) “Dance with the Devil,” dropping this Friday, is a reflection of our journey—both personal and musical. The song explores the age-old battle between good and evil, temptation, and the strength it takes to stand your ground. In some ways, it represents the internal struggles we all face, and we hope it resonates with anyone who has ever felt caught between making the right choice and succumbing to temptation.
This track is a great first taste of what’s to come from The Pitchers—a mix of catchy melodies, deep lyrics, and our signature male-female harmonies that bring an extralayer of emotion to everything we create.
A Glimpse into Our Life as a Couple and Artists
Creating music as a couple has been a joy like no other. While we both bring unique perspectives and skills to the table, it’s the way we encourage each other that makes the process so fulfilling. We challenge one another to dig deeper creatively and spiritually, making our music all the richer for it. And sure, it’s a lot—planning a wedding, making music, starting a band—but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We’re busy, to say the least! Between venue hunting, wedding planning, and writing new music, there’s never a dull moment. But through it all, we keep reminding each other of our core belief: God is faithful always. That faith is not only at the heart of our relationship but also our music.
What’s Next for The Pitchers
As we prepare for the release of (Don”t) “Dance with the Devil,” we’re beyond excited to share our story and music with the world. Stay tuned for more songs, more stories, and (eventually) wedding bells! For now, though, our focus is on building a community of fans who can grow with us and connect to our music in meaningful ways.
So here’s to the next chapter—filled with love, laughter, and lots of music. Welcome to the journey of The Pitchers.
We can’t wait for you to hear our new song and join us on this exciting journey. Whether you’re here for the music, the love story, or just to follow along as we juggle wedding planning with recording sessions, we’re so happy you’re here with us. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to check out (Don’t) “Dance with the Devil” this Friday!
