Bio / Background
Having written songs and toured as an opening act for some of the top acts in the Americana music scene like Alison Krauss, Fred Eaglesmith, and Slaid Cleaves; Picott has seen his own star begin to shine in recent years. Hard touring to the tune of 120 plus shows each year and four CD releases in the last five years is finally starting to pay off for the former construction worker from Nashville TN.
Born in Maine and raised in a hardworking [his father was a welder] blue collar family in the mill town of South Berwick, Picott was exposed to a surprising mix of music growing up. His father brought home Ray Charles and John Phillip Sousa from his stint in the Marines and his brother an avid punk record collector brought the punk poetry of the Clash and Patti Smith. Early stints in garage and bar bands cemented his love of performing but also convinced him that writing songs himself was where his desire lay.
In 1994 Picott made his way to Nashville TN.

In 2001 his song Broke Down was recorded by Slaid Cleaves and became the most played song on Americana and Folk radio that year. That same year Picott released his own debut album, Tiger Tom Dixon's Blues and hit the road running, garnering rave reviews for the album his moving live performances. Three more albums, Stray Dogs and Girl from Arkansas, and Travel Log have followed - all to glowing reviews and a growing cult following in the States, the UK and Europe.
Picott's new album "Summerbirds" received a 5 star review in Maverick Magazine one of the UK's most respected and widely read music magazines. "Summerbirds" showcases Picott's superb songwriting and gift for melody across 11 tracks on his most inspired and rocking album yet. The recordings were tracked with a who's-who band of Nashville veterans including Steve Bowman [drums] of the Counting Crows and Pat Buchanan [CMA guitarist of the year 2006] who has played with Tim Mcgraw and Lynyrd Skynyrd in recent years.
Maverick Magazine says Summerbirds is " as damn near perfect as you can get ".
