After six years in Nashville, Rod Picott has built a reputation as one of the best of Music City's young singer/songwriters. His smart, honest songs speak of the truth you overlooked, the emotion you've kept inside.
His smoky delivery and gift for storytelling has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, Steve Earle, and John Hiatt. Rod is currently touring in support of his new release, Stray Dogs. Check out his tour dates on his website, www.rodpicott.com.

Barbed wire lyrics wrapped around whisky and gravel vocals.
author: John Hood, Music Row Magazine
His sound? Barbed wire lyrics wrapped around whisky and gravel vocals. Hints of Springsteen, Earle and Lucinda Williams abound. But it's the wallop of soul in his passionate vocals and the earthy groove of his melodies that give Picott his own distinct sound.
He's just beginning to hit his stride as a writer; Slaid Cleaves took their co-write "Broke Down" to No.1 on the Americana charts. He's a narrative storyteller tapped into the trials and tribulations of the working class. He intuitively understands heartache, desperation, joy and small hopes (small, not inconsequential) ignore class boundaries. And because of that, his characters possess a certain nobility, a dignified humanity that belies their bleak circumstances. Plus the man can turn a phrase like nobody's business.
Give this man a listen, he's America's next great songwriter.
