PICK26: Songs That Carry
Saturday March 14, 2026

LOCK IN THE LOWEST PRICES OF THE YEAR BEFORE THEY’RE GONE!

Early Bird tickets for Pickathon 2026 are almost gone.

Fewer than 250 passes remain, and once this allocation is claimed, pricing will automatically move to the next tier.

If Pickathon is already on your summer calendar, now is the time to lock in the lowest price of the year. You can Buy Now, Pay Later and spread the cost over time.

⏳ Reminder: Purchase by March 22 at midnight to access the full 5-month payment plan. After that date, payment plans will shorten to 4 months.

This week’s PICK26 spotlight celebrates the kind of songs that stop a crowd in its tracks — the quiet moments where the entire farm leans in and listens.

🎟 Secure your Early Bird pass before this tier disappears.

Alela Diane

THE VOICE OF THE TREES

A Nevada City native and Portland icon, Alela Diane writes folk songs that feel ancient and timeless. Her voice is clear as a bell, cutting through the forest air with stories of motherhood, nature, and memory.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

Pickathon royalty. Alela’s music sounds like it grew out of the ground at Pendarvis Farm. We booked her because she creates a sacred silence in the crowd that is rare and beautiful.

Ken Pomeroy

NATIVE AMERICANA

A Cherokee songwriter from Oklahoma, Ken Pomeroy brings a unique perspective to the folk tradition. Her music is sparse, haunting, and incredibly mature for her age, blending modern indie influences with her heritage.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

The truth-teller. We love Ken because she doesn’t hide behind production. It’s just her and the song. She represents the next wave of diverse voices reclaiming American folk music.

Caitlin Canty

DUSTY ROAD TRIP FOLK

Caitlin Canty writes songs that sound like travel. Her music is restless, gritty, and beautiful, driven by a voice that has a touch of smoke in it. She bridges the gap between old-time string bands and modern songwriters.

WHY WE PICKED THEM

We booked her for the craft. Caitlin is a musician’s musician—impeccable guitar playing and songwriting that never wastes a word.
