Reviews of Hot Pickin 57s
Austin, Texas
Bluegrass, Country & Americana Band
"I've worked with dozens of bands over the years, and no group nails it like the Hot Pickin 57s. Day of show they're hassle free. During the performance they crush it with fun originals, spot-on classics, incredible talent, energized presence, and some jokes between songs to catch your breath. I literally couldn't recommend them more."
Everyone loved the music and variety of songs. Hot Pickin 57s were absolutely phenomenal. They played our Hill Country wedding — the crowd couldn't stop moving.
I just wanted to tell you how meaningful your performance at Charlie's memorial reception was. It not only saluted Charlie's life and passion beautifully — it was deeply affecting for the entire family. God bless you all for sharing your amazing gifts with us at this tough time.
