If Joe Strummer had come up in Greenwich Village taking guitar lessons from Dave Van Ronk and crate digging for Rev. Gary Davis records, he might sound something like Migrant Pickers' frontman Gary Adler. Acoustic finger-picking guitar with a punk rock edge, Gary's music combines technical virtuosity with honest, soulful songwriting. 

Disciples of Woody Guthrie with a rock in their shoe, the Pickers are firmly rooted in the subversive tradition of American folk. Combined with Mark Lahti's driving electric bass and violin virtuoso Noelle Boucher's soaring solos, the Pickers' performances are an unapologetic act of defiance-- of genre, expectation, and the very laws of physics. 

Migrant Pickers will take you on a freight-train ride from the deepest roots of American music to outer-space and back.

Ever expanding the eclectic collection of fine music everywhere.
