JD McPherson – “Firebug” (Live @ Pickathon) (premiere)

In the lead up to this year’s Pickathon, we’ve been sharing an exclusive series of videos from last year’s fest. One of the best things about Pickathon is its musical variety with indie rock nestling right up against Americana, hip-hop, and soul. It’s a potent mixture and the common denominator is that all of the acts are really good. Up today, we have a live performance from rock ‘n’ roller JD McPherson and band that’ll get you up off your seat and dancing around the cubicle. McPherson remains dedicated to the early rock ‘n’ roll and rockabilly of the 1950s, updating and enlivening the music for a whole new generation.

The Pickathon schedule has been announced. Find out when Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco), Beach House, Wolf Parade, Yo La Tengo, Ty Segall and many others are playing this summer. Buy your tickets here.
