Music in the Cellar with the Flathead Cherry Pickers

Description

The Flathead Cherry Pickers are music-loving locals from the Flathead Valley. They will take you on a journey through modern and classic bluegrass styles from gospel to contemporary to southern “swampy” vibes and beyond, and even throw in some genre-crossovers putting a bluegrass twist on well-known popular music. Hailing from Bigfork, Montana, Brett Johnsen’s guitar flatpicking style is reminiscent of familiar names such as Tony Rice, Bryon Sutton, and Dan Tyminski, while Ted and Teddy Cotton, father and son also hailing from Bigfork, create a rhythm section that will get you off your seats and dancing with smooth mandolin and upright bass grooves. Ted’s Melodic Mandolin runs bring a jazzy air to the band slipping in and out of classic chops and blazing solos, while Teddy’s jazz-inspired upright bass skills keep the whole band full and steady.  And finally, from Ronan, Montana, Sam Carroll brings a diverse set of banjo skills from that classic banjo roll to his roots in the old-time clawhammer method from 1930’s Appalachia.  If you like acoustic picking and lively, uplifting music come check out the Flathead Cherry Pickers for some locally grown bluegrass!
