The SLO Pickers is a 4-piece bluegrass string band from San Luis Obispo, CA
They perform a grassy array of repertoire ranging from traditional tried-and-true bluegrass standards and original compositions. Founding members, Joel Demir (guitar) and Justin Martinez (mandolin), got their start as an instrumental bluegrass duo and eventually grew to add banjo (Scott Morris), upright bass (Scott Conroy). The band’s original works hint at the founders’ classical training background while keeping that foot-tapping bluegrass feel. At their shows, The SLO Pickers carry on the bluegrass tradition of performing around a single microphone, which makes for an entertaining “stage dance” harkening back to classic bluegrass performances at the grand ole opry in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
