Southern roots music with an edge that embodies the best of Americana music... a sound that's uniquely original and as familiar as Sunday supper! Pickxen is powered by the passionate voice of Laura Monk. Raised on a steady diet of Carol King, Neil Young and Dolly Parton, Monk seems to have traveled the same inspirational road as Natalie Merchant and Neko Case. Her musical brothers in arms include; husband John on bass and Michael Garvey, lead guitar. A tasty blend of classic Americana cover tunes mix together with original songs that tell stories full of life and imagination. By doing what they love, Pickxen creates an engaging performance that begs for the listeners attention and gets it!
