Current Development/Management Projects



In the summer of 2010 Dale saw a young Mike Bilenki playing a solo acoustic set at an open mic show. Together with Dale's guidance Take Me To The Pilot started evolving from that day forward.

"Since that day in 2010 I have been one of Mike's biggest fans. He's a great songwriter, singer and performer. Mike and the band he has since assembled are talented and among the heardest working bands I know."
Dale Penner
