The PickPocket Bluegrass Band of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, blends American roots music with good ol’ fashioned Yankee ingenuity to deliver some of the freshest, toe tappin’ bluegrass music around.

Composed of acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjilele/melodica, bass & vocals, The PickPocket Bluegrass Band will serve you “Whiskey Before Breakfast” on a “Cold Frosty Morning” until the ”Blackberry(…ies) Blossom.” In other words, we’re happy to play our own special blend of old-timey, unplugged string music for you!

Have a listen to our sample tunes, and a gander at the events calendar, and give a call or email to have us play at your shindig.

The audience was knocked into thrilled insensibility by steel mandolin player and singer Charles Giordano, and guitarist and singer Dana Edelman. Both instruments were electric, and the songs ranged from hillbilly to a tune from the old Scotch-Irish vintage trunk, to the doleful folk strains of “Shady Grove,” with singer Anthony Esposito joining to add depth and harmony.

You gave us your best, and we can’t thank you enough. You made the party a party and for that I am eternally grateful.

Charlie and Dana played for our ceremony and cocktail hour and helped to make both more memorable than we could have ever imagined! We can’t thank them enough for their patience and flexibility in including our family members (including an 8 year old guitar player) in their set and helping to make our wedding day all we could have imagined with their awesome music!!! Thanks again SO much to you both.

PickPocket is sensational. We used them all summer long at Noepe. They are fun, talented, and entertaining characters. The right music for any occasion; they make an ordinary event memorable.

Just wanted to thank you for the amazing job you guys did at our wedding on 9/5 at Tower House. Everyone was raving about how great it sounded and how it went so well with the atmosphere of the day. Thanks again!
