About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
From ballads to rockabilly to western swing, you will find yourself two stepping, waltzing or shuffling to the great sound of the Honky Tonk Pickers. Let them take you back in time to the smoky dance halls and honky tonks of Texas where you can kick up your heels, clap your hands and have a great time!In addition to performing traditional honky tonk music, the Honky Tonk Pickers also write and perform their music in the same traditional, but yet unique and original style that is their own. Lead singer Juan Peduto, (raised in Canada), with his deep, clear, strong voice sings along to the accompaniment of four background vocals and instruments such as the steel guitar, dobro, guitar, bass and drums.Though all of the band members are from Switzerland, they are well known and warmly received all over Europe, playing frequently in France, Austria, Germany and of course Switzerland. Their last album entitled “Right On The Nose” won the Austrian Music Federation’s “International Album of the Year.” This earned them international acclaim and recognition all over Europe.With over 50 live concerts performed annually, and nominations for “Band of the Year” and “Newcomer of the Year” in both Switzerland and Austria, the Honky Tonk Pickers are on their way to becoming one of the most successful country bands in Europe. Their exceptional musical talent combined with their energetic and enthusiastic interaction with the audience will make attending their next concert an experience you will never forget!
