“There’s something so remarkable about the Lucky Barn vibe. From the moment I began speaking with artists about their music, I’ve been driven by the desire to experience their songs more fully, to gain an understanding that deepens my listening enjoyment. Sitting down in the Lucky Barn with songwriters, alongside people who clearly desire that same sort of connection to the music they love, is always a thrill. That intimacy between audience and performer is what makes Pickathon such a special experience overall.” – Jason Woodbury, Aquarium Drunkard
The quote says it all… However, in case you’re new to Pickathon and not quite connecting the dots – we’re pleased to introduce this years Lucky Barn performer & interviewer list. The Lucky Barn is the only space at Pickathon where performers (curated by Pickathon) + interviewers (curated by Greg Vandy of KEXP) share the stage. Each set is an hour of performance, discussion, and audience Q&A. We are very fortunate to have everyone below involved in 2017 and look forward to sharing these special performances with those ‘lucky’ enough to join us.
