Stopping in Batesville on their Southern Tour! Pictrola fuses modern energetic bluegrass with rock, jazz, swing, and jams, performing a mixture of originals and new takes on crowd favorites. The band originated when members met at DelFest Academy in 2017 and has since evolved into a powerful group with a well-honed and varied repertoire, featuring close vocal harmonies and skillful instrumental work. Their 2023 Album, Time Rages On, has been well received, winning a 2024 WAMMIE award for “Best Folk/Bluegrass Song” with its opening track, “More Than We Can Fix”. The song “Indy Air” from the album was also featured on the Spotify Newgrass playlist. Pictrola has played numerous venues and shared the bill with major acts in the bluegrass scene, including The Infamous Stringdusters, Danny Paisley and Southern Grass, Larry Keel, Dirty Grass Players and many others. They have appeared at festivals large and small including Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Sultana Downrigging, The Washington Folk Festival, Phoenix Festival, and Watermelon Pickers’ Festival.
