Goldmine Pickers perform innovative acoustic newgrass and swinging originals with a taste of Irish and jazz. The band started as a duo and has expanded to a four-piece ensemble of dedicated, versatile musicians. With guitar, upright bass, mandolin and a very versatile fiddle, they like to call themselves "one banjo short" of a bluegrass band. Lead vocals are shared among band members, who also join for three-part harmony. This band, which emerged from Goshen, Indiana's vibrant acoustic music scene, has focused on crafting a unique sound that nods to Americana genres while crossing traditional borders to create a fresh new sound -- one that draws audiences together.
