Hot Pickin 57s

Hot Pickin 57s play the music America built, bluegrass, classic country, and Americana, drawn from the deep well of Bill Monroe, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Bob Wills, Doc Watson, and Hank Williams.

Hot Pickin 57s are proud members of the 2026–2028 Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) Texas Touring Roster. The Touring Roster is the TCA’s juried list of artists selected by a statewide panel. 

Based in Austin, Texas, the band members have deep roots in the Austin music scene, reuniting in 2016 after their musical educations at Berklee, South Plains College, and Texas State. They've played in well-known bands like the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash and Whit Smith's Hot Jazz Caravan. They've had the privilege of performing alongside artists such as Sierra Hull, Beppe Gambetta, Alan Munde, Mark Cosgrove (David Bromberg), Billy Bright (Wood & Wire), and Kym Warner (Robert Earl Keen, Greencards).
