Pickin' Picnic (Presented by Realize Bradenton)
“Pickin’ Picnic” is a FREE family-friendly outdoor music event that showcases emerging
local musicians. Food and beverages will be available for sale; attendees

Realize Bradenton with support from the Bradenton Downtown Development
Authority.
The
line-up includes:
- 4:00-5:00 p.m.: Faceless
Bandits: A fun-loving
band comprised of three “old-school punk rockers” who put a spin on bluegrass with
rockabilly and punk undertones.
- 5:15-6:15 p.m.: Geri X: This
Bulgarian-born singer-songwriter’s music shows influences of several
genres, including folk, psychedelic rock, Americana, and post-rock. She
has garnered a sizable fan base and critical acclaim in the Tampa Bay
music scene.
- 6:30-7:30
p.m.: Waking Giants: This
group of long-time friends and collaborators is genre jumping and draws from
an amalgam of styles (rock, blues, funk, world beat, and electronic) to
create a one of a kind, infectious sound. Skillfully crafted songs
supporting powerful, sultry and soulful vocals provided by Kat and
DeLaran.
- 7:45-8:45 p.m.: Muphin Chuckrs: This crowd
favorite formed in 1999 and has remained a central Florida staple for 14
years. With roots that begin in new school punk, the band has constantly
written and reinvented its sound, touching on reggae, jazz, rock, and
metal, along the way.
- 9-10 p.m.: Have Gun, Will Travel: This award-winning
band has a natural instinct for combining folk, pop, rock and classic
country influences to create a sound all its own. "Their music has a
great energy to it, with infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains,"
remarked NPR's Robin Hilton. American Songwriter called HGWT's music
"organic, infectious Americana pop. Their music has a refreshing
immediacy to it."
