Event

The Wicked Pickers

Dress code is smart casual. BYOB and snacks. Sadie's Salon provides water, ice, and glasses for wine and beverages.

Sarah Friedman (lead vocals): Sarah has fronted bands in the Boston area since she moved here from New York. She brings a background of R&B and Blue Eyed Soul to the Pickers fusion style.

Bill Morris (guitar): Bill's playing has covered a gamut of styles over the years - from rock in the early days to jazz, fusion, folk and even a little classical in formats from solo to big band. He has led or been a sideman with a number of bands since attending Berklee College in the late 1970's.

Paul Green (Bass, Vocals): Paul took up the bass in high school out of dire necessity (one neighbor played guitar and another drums). Paul studied upright bass with Marshall Hawkins, Larry Angell, and Mark Bernat, and played in numerous rock and jazz ensembles at Oberlin College.

Gordon Hill (violin): Gordon has played and recorded with a variety of Boston area folk, rock, and jazz bands including The Gulf, Peter ODea, Push the River, and Illustrated Man. Gordon was also a member of the Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra.

George O'Connor (Mandolin, Vocals): Before joining the Wicked Pickers, George played with the Boston-area bluegrass band Jumpin' Willie. His musical influences include Django Reinhardt, David Grisman, Norman Blake, and Orrin Starr, with whom he studied guitar before turning his attention to the mandolin.
