The Deep Fried Pickles are a delectable musical treat. They pride themselves on making JUGaBilly HOKUM music. Founded in '00 as a jug band, 'DFPP' now mixes other American roots forms into the breading batter as well. Bluegrass, Hokum, Folk, Rockabilly, Blues and Honky-Tonk tunes pepper their set lists.
Recent performance venues include Wakarusa, TELLURIDE BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL, High Sierra and SUNSHINE DAYDREAMS in West Virginia, as well as picnics, bars, baptisms, theaters, bathtubs and festivals across North America.
The Pickles have appeared with Nickel Creek, Wilco, My Morning Jacket, Gov't Mule, Umphrey's McGee, BELA FLECK, Buckethead, String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, George Clinton, Derek Trucks Band and ANI DE FRANCO, among many others on their festival tours.
The band has been featured in SPIN, NO DEPRESSION and RELIX music magazines, as well as the online 'zines such as Jambase and Glide. The DFPP has performed on national TV in their PBS kids debut.
What sets the Pickles apart as a band is the fact that they can play kids shows, adult shows and then host a "KinderMusic " kids instrument building workshop all in the same day. Their flexibility and devotion to music education have made them a popular act to book for festival promoters and talent buyers.
The band was featured in an episode of 'Postcards From Buster', a spin-off of "Arthur" on PBS Kids, which has millions of viewers worldwide. The show aired on October 11th. The episode was entitled, 'Meet Me at the Fair'. (..101) Check your local listings for re-broadcast airtimes.
The DFPP's second album, 'Attack of the Pickles', was released in September of 2003. Its single, 'Picklejuice' won a John Lennon Songwriting Contest Finalist Award for 2003. The Pickles also make an appearance on new new Fred Eaglesmith tribute album, '20 Odd Hollers II'. The latest DFPP album to surface is named 'Live from the Trailer Trash Tour', and was released in the Spring of 2005. The band is currently recording a new album, 'Whitewood Creek', which will be available just before their Summer 2006 U.S. tour. CD's are available for sale on CDbaby.com.
