Lindner started The Pickle Mafia with Marco Cirigliano and Ben Chilbert in May of 2019. In the first six months the band released 28 live performance videos resulting in thousands of plays on Facebook and YouTube. The band performs original cutting edge jazz tunes and arrangements of popular artists from Nirvana to Chick Corea and electronic danceable originals!  Performances can vary from intimate grand piano sit down shows to straight up dance parties!  Just in a short time the group has played 80+ shows across NYC, Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Southern tier, ADK, Vermont, and more.  The mission statement is “to travel from city to city taking people on a musical journey together” .
