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
are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs. Both series are presented by
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."
