Brent Pickett Lead guitar and Vocals
Born the son of a sailor Brent spent his formative years playing folk clubs in England and Northern California. After years on the true daddy circuit he played with the original Broken String based in Evergreen until egos and screaming eardrums split up the band. Home at last with his true brothers Brent enjoys the eclectic mix of dance songs and blues with BooDaddy's own take and feel on old classics and new originals. From jazz fusion to slow earthy blues Brent and Rich play off of each other for their own kind of funky show - Brent's Complete Bio
