Since 1998, the Pickathon festival has brought together an intimate audience and some incredible performers to a farm outside of Portland, Oregon. Unlike festivals that tend to attract the same names, Pickathon operates outside the mainstream, resulting in bookings — and, more importantly, experiences — unlike any other. Talkhouse is excited to partner with Pickathon to present videos from the 2019 festival, specifically those filmed at the festival’s Lucky Barn stage. Today we’ve got a fantastic performance from Lambchop, of their “The New Cobweb Summer.” Stick around after the song for an interview by Jeremy Petersen. Going forward, we’ll be releasing a new Pickathon video on the first Tuesday of every month, leading up to the 2020 festival, which will take place July 30 – August 2, 2020.
