Pickin’ in the Pines Music Series
Koka Booth Amphitheatre | Gate opens 3 PM, show starts 4 PM | Tickets
Jonathan Byrd and The Pickup Cowboys will be topping off the last of the Pickin’ in the Pines Series shows at Koka Booth this season. These fellas are musical gunslingers, vaudevillian hucksters, and old-fashioned tent revivalists. Between heartbreaking ballads and heart-lifting sing-alongs, the Cowboys entertain and get audiences involved in the show.
Byrd is a preacher’s son, a Gulf War veteran, and an award-winning songwriter from Chapel Hill, NC, known for literary, outsider songs that have become campfire favorites. The Chicago Tribune called Byrd “one of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years.”
He and the musicians that accompany him will be sharing the often-missed, always poignant tales of the small people that make the world such a big place.
