No Depression magazine puts it this way: “Rod Picott is one of our too-little-known songwriting treasures. Like Hemingway, he peers into the jangly tentativeness of the relationships between men and women. He captures the spectral gothic shadows that haunt rural settings. Like Townes Van Zandt, Picott tells riveting tales about memorable characters that plumb the misery and the fleeting moments of hope that mark the human condition.”
He was a repeat guest at Ashland Coffee and Tea back in the day, a place lots of us revered for its intimate devotion to acoustic musicians and those who love them. We captured Rod’s intimate set at In Your Ear in March of 2025.
