Hot Pickin 57s

Hot Pickin 57s played for our outdoor professional reception and they were awesome! Each member of the band is an incredibly talented musician and together they offer a fantastic repertoire of songs - from bluegrass to classic country and many others - and they play it all so well. They are also very kind people who took requests and clearly love what they do. We had a great time listening to them! More...

Hot Pickin 57s is such a great band. I had a pleasure to watch and see them several times around Austin. Have to mention the craftsmanship: every member is an accomplished performer, and it is obvious how much they enjoy sharing their love of the music with the rest of us. Hot Pickin 57s takes their public seriously and delivers a fun show, every time. Their repertory covers bluegrass, gypsy jazz, country, and folk. Definitely, very talented with true potential to watch and enjoy! More...

Really fun show last night at Pecan St Brewing in Johnson City. Great mix of bluegrass, classic country, Western Swing, covers and originals.

Hot Pickin 57s were an absolute delight to work with. Steve came out to the venue prior to our wedding to make sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted. The group had exceptional attention to detail and nailed the set, including our special requests. Fun, upbeat, bluegrass sound was exactly what we were hoping for in our "rustic" style wedding. They are an incredible group of musicians - only downside is I couldn't enjoy the set as I was the bride! More...

It was a pleasure to work with Hot Pickin 57s! Max was very communicative before the event and the guys (and gal!) showed up on time and ready to play the day of the party. They had a great sound for easy listening and weren't too loud that our guests couldn't talk to one another. We really enjoyed them and look forward to using them at future events! More...

Hot Pickin 57s were really wonderful at our wedding. When we were overwhelmed with planning, they made sure to check in and make sure we had all of our music decisions done and even suggested some songs for us! They played at both the ceremony and the reception, and were great at both.

At the wedding they were very professional, played wonderfully, and added a fun vibe to our event! Our guests had a great time, and we had no stress at all from the music! I definitely recommend them! More...

Working with Hot Pickin 57s was perfect! From our very first phone conversation to the week of the event - they were in constant contact with us to make sure all the music / venue and details were matching. They offered excellent music suggestions for both the wedding ceremony and the reception (including the first dance and father/daughter dance). The music was perfect for both events. The guests loved dancing to the bluegrass music. They even came out to preview the venue before the event to make sure all the details were arranged! Thank you Hot Pickin 57s for providing a very special addition to our daughter's wedding. I really felt they cared about us and our daughter's wedding! More...

Max Zimmet & Hot Pickin 57s was the perfect group for our pop-up shop's launch party! Very easy to work with from out of state and even better in person. Set up was a breeze and for two hours they were the perfect soundtrack for our party. From our San Francisco crew to the local kids attending from just down the street, everyone loved the music! Thank you for everything! More...

Thank you guys for coming out! You were one of our best bands ever, and everyone will be talking about that performance. There were people there who didn't even know what bluegrass is, and now they're fans! Thanks again,

Last night, Max Zimmet Hot Pickin 57s band absolutely MADE my husband’s 50th birthday party. We had about 45 adults in a fun, intimate setting upstairs at South Austin Brewery. The band played for two hours, engaged the crowd in a friendly comfortable way and set a perfect, Austin-style ambiance for the event. These guys were incredibly talented musicians and so charming an easy to work with. They were flexible and friendly throughout the planning, set up and evening of the party. I got many compliments on the music all night. My son said, “This feels like the kind of band you want to have at a ranch wedding. Fun and Texan approved!”

They were awesome! More...
