The Wrinkle Pickers
“Hillbilly Rockabilly countryish Fun”
The Wrinklepickers was first formed in the UK in 2012 and played for several years at festivals and clubs in the greater London and three counties area.
The two founders/songwriters/ vocalists moved to the Blue Mountains a couple of years ago and re-formed the band with several experienced, professional and ageing local musicians; we tend to have 2 to 6 members playing at any one time.
We're quite lively and fun and try not to take ourselves too seriously; we do miserable songs cheerfully performed. Our style is country, bit of bluegrass/hillbilly/rockabilly with close vocal harmonies, stand-up bass, percussion, guitar, harmonica, violin.
On gigs, the majority of the sets are our own songs, although being modest we tend not to tell anyone unless they ask. People often try to sing along even though they've never heard the songs before, or we get folks holding up their smartphones trying to get their apps to recognise what we’re playing... so we reckon our songs are actually pretty good!
The core band members are: Paul and Vicky (aka Brian and Krysstal) on guitar, tambourine and vocals, George Gerontakos on Double Bass, Lucy Cooper on violin, Stewart Hall on harmonica and James Roy on drums.
“Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it did. Up stepped the Wrinklepickers performing as a five-piece and presenting a fabulous mix of blues, folk and gospel. Lead singers Brian and Krysstal were simply fantastic…”
