Sandy Pickett Acoustic
High-Powered Acoustic Guitarist, Master Hand-Drumming, Harmonica, Driven, Singer and Songwriter
Live performances drive me! I have played in over 333 venues from England to Hawaii to Southeastern Indiana. My driving rhythmic finger style guitar compliments old rock, folk, and blues incorporating the works of many artists including Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, and Molly Hatchet.. I incorporate the harmonica in a lot of songs such as Richie Havens style number of "All Along the Watchtower" honoring its original Bob Dylan roots with a female perspective. I am a 2017 inductee of the Southeastern Indiana Musicians Association Hall of Fame and have played live consistently for over 20 years. I am a multi-instrumentalist - guitar, harmonica, stomp box, Jimbay conga - often doing several at once.
Hippie Fingers
Hippie Fingers is a 3 piece acoustic band featuring Ed “Chopper" Johnson, Brian Creech, and Sandy Pickett. The trio formed in 2012. They are a very successful trio that plays mostly 70’s and 80’s early rock like Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, and Fleetwood Mac. Three guitars, Sandy's conga and winding blues harmonica - provides a high energy 3-4 hour show with no breaks!! Playing almost every club in Southeastern Indiana... they are a crowd pleaser... Sandy often mixes her original songs with a lot of cover tunes from Doobie Brothers to Janis Joplin.

"Sharpen My Ax"
From 2009, this song was co-written with Jill McIntosh King. It has a strong back beat with rhythmic harmonica. It is a mimicking parody showing how to deal with a cheating husband. Jill's powerful vocals drive the song's message and believability with strong greasy harp winding and twisting the groove...
