July 13th – The Pickpockets
Pickpockets Bio:
As bluegrass continues to grow and bend as a genre, The Pickpockets are at the forefront, pushing the unique roots of their sound and jams into new territories. The five-piece string band from Salt Lake City recently released their debut album “Beyond The Hills” – a culmination of their best original work to date (joining an original EP from 2022 and a cover EP from 2023), and are currently embarking on a self-managed tour throughout the Mountain West. The band’s expansive repertoire and ever-growing sound draws inspiration from all around the world; from reggae to funk, to traditional and newgrass styles, they consistently are creating new grooves and genres.
The Pickpockets have played sold out shows with notable bands like The Kitchen Dwellers, Pixie and the Partygrass Boys, The Fretliners, Armchair Boogie, High Country Hustle, and many more. Besides playing all around Salt Lake (The Depot, The State Room, The Commonwealth Room, Metro Music Hall, Kilby Court, The Gateway), The Pickpockets have played at the Brundage Summer Music Series in Idaho, and will be playing at 4 Peaks Music Festival (Oregon), Wasatch Mountain Music Festival, with other dates to be announced. By combining traditional instruments and classical chops with futuristic style and heartfelt songwriting, The Pickpockets are breathing new life into a timeless genre, Bluegrass.
