Whats The Reason For This Session 5 - The Pickpockets
Description
Welcome back to the dungeon for another electric episode of What’s The Reason For This Session?, featuring a rowdy and rootsy live set from The Pickpockets, straight outta Salt Lake City (and maybe just barely released from the church 😏). With their foot-stomping fusion of bluegrass soul, jammed-out grooves, and heart-heavy harmonies, this Utah-based crew brings the heat with three standout performances and an interview that’ll leave you grinning.
🎧 Session Highlights:
- 🎤 “Sweet Dakota Rose” – A sun-soaked original inspired by West Dakota Rose, penned by mandolin player Dante and delivered with infectious energy.
- 🚂 “Railroad” – A groovy, rhythm-driven original exploring connection, travel, and the pulse of a shifting world.
- 🎸 “The Thrill Is Gone” – A staple cover the band makes their own, nodding to Garcia & Grisman’s take on the BB King classic—with a Pickpocket twist.
Meet Alec, Aidan, Dante, and Jake as they talk about how their cross-country backgrounds brought them together in Utah, their musical roots, and why they’re stoked to finally take their sound beyond the Beehive State.
💥 Catch the full set. Stick around for the stories. And remember: the thrill is definitely not gone.
