The Shroom Pickers is a freshly sprouted patch of rootless dung-lovers, specializing in off-kilter country-folk music for the bemushroomed yokel and cosmopolitan cowperson alike. Founded by guitarist/songwriter Miles Gannett of Baltimore's Fractal Cat, the trio also features Fractal Cat's Sean Finn on fiddle and French horn, and Ahren Buchheister on pedal steel and dobro. The Pickers’ inspirations include Townes Van Zandt, the Holy Modal Rounders, and the Incredible String Band, and their material ranges from Gannett's original songs to "shroomgrass" covers. The band’s first single is due out early October, 2017.

“From the kickoff song "Be Careful What You Dream," a rocking slice of foot propellant, to the epic spaced-out "Streets Are Burning," the new album [The Tower] evokes both the old, like the Beatles and other British Invaders from the 1960s, and the new, like My Morning Jacket.”
