SUMMARY:Cole Quest &amp\; the City Pickers
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRooted in tradition yet driven by a restless New York energ
 y\, Cole Quest and The City Pickers carry American folk music forward wi
 th wit\, warmth\, and originality. Led by dobro player\, songwriter\, and
  vocalist Cole Quest — grandson of folk icon Woody Guthrie — the ban
 d has carved out a singular place in today’s roots music landscape\, ble
 nding the storytelling spirit of folk with the drive and precision of blue
 grass.\n\nTheir latest album\, Homegrown (Jalopy Records\, 2025)\, produce
 d by Grammy Award–winning engineer Steve Rosenthal\, brings the band’s
  journey into full focus. The record weaves four new originals with reimag
 ined takes on songs by John Hartford\, Peter Rowan\, and Woody Guthrie him
 self\, linking Cole’s own creative voice with his grandfather’s enduri
 ng legacy. No Depression hailed it as “an album that deftly moves the le
 gacy of Woody Guthrie along in all the right ways.” Critics like Songlin
 es (UK)\, Glide Magazine\, and the Berkshire Eagle have noted how the band
  honors its lineage while forging its own path. Their broad recognition in
 cludes a Bluegrass Standard cover (August 2025) and a feature in Bluegrass
  Unlimited.\n\nFormed by friends with a shared love of bluegrass and tradi
 tional American music\, Quest first pulled the Pickers together in 2017 to
  record their debut self-titled project at the legendary Magic Shop studio
 . They went on to release their acclaimed EP Self [En]Titled on Omnivore R
 ecords in 2021. Over the years\, they’ve won the Podunk Bluegrass Festiv
 al band competition\, toured Germany multiple times\, and shared stages wi
 th artists like Billy Strings\, Sierra Hull\, and Tony Trischka.\n\nBut be
 yond accolades\, what defines Cole Quest and The City Pickers is community
 . Their music bridges the intimacy of a Guthrie family sing-along with the
  rhythmic pulse of bluegrass\, creating a sound that feels both timeless a
 nd immediate. Whether on record or on stage\, they deliver an energizing\,
  joyful performance that creates spaces where tradition meets innovation\,
  laughter meets resilience\, and every listener feels at home.\n\n\n\n"Wha
 t a crack team of pickers and voices you have put together. Great dobro pl
 aying\, world class harmonica. Damn it sure sounds fun with your city pick
 ers at the microphone."\n-- Ketch Secor / Old Crow Medicine Show
