Pea Pickin’ Hearts

The Pea Pickin’ Hearts cast a spell with their quirky Americana mashup of raucous country, rockabilly, folk & hillbilly sounds that pay homage to 1940s & 50s Appalachia. Lead singer Rachel Gibson & guitarist Jon Ives create unique harmonies that can only develop after years of listening–-one to the other. Their name is a sweet tribute to both Tennessee Ernie Ford’s famous line “bless your pea pickin’ heart” & the love they share for Tennessee.

The Pea Pickin’ Hearts are celebrating the NEW RELEASE of “Last Words” (September 2015), the follow up to their folk-inspired CD, “Creekwood Crow” (August 2014). The Pea Pickin’ Hearts spend their days touring the eastern United States crashing-testing new songs for the next release!

“A true crowd pleasing show, nobody left our venue without a smile on their face and a CD in their hand. In a world of bad cover songs these guys take you back to the world of heartfelt American music with Harmonies that tingle the soul. Follow their schedule & book them if they are coming through your town you will not be let down.” – Van Ness’s Time Out

“…lovely, lilting songs on ‘Creekwood Crow’…” ~ The Mountain Press

“The Pea Pickin’ Hearts are *seriously* listenable and a lot of fun. They will make your toes tap and your ears smile!”

“Gibson’s soprano to mezzo-soprano range glides effortlessly over Ives’ lushly strummed acoustic rhythms, and their overall sound is a fully rounded embodiment of Appalachia’s well-trod acoustic basics, plucking sounds from the middle of last century and delivering them with earnest conviction.” ~ Free Times
