Dallas Observer Music Awards and, maybe more important, the respect and admiration of every musician who has come into contact with his music. Recently, Pickard trekked with his band down to Sun Studios in Memphis where luminaries such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins also recorded to lay down his next album, to be released on Fun Guy Records, the label of Dallas’ own luminary, the Reverend Horton Heat .
Tin Man Travis
Tin Man Travis is a country-blues artist who plays around regularly. When you can’t catch him anywhere from Dallas to Decatur at any number of local dive bars playing his brand of “blues-infused psycho-folkabilly,” you can find him streaming his variety show TuPlay Tuesdays with bandmate James Kirk Hampton and guests on Facebook Live 8-10 p.m. every Tuesday.
