"They play hick-a-billy jamgrass like nobody's business"
Telluride Bluegrass Festival, June 2004
The Deep Fried Pickles are a delectable musical treat. They pride themselves on making jug-a-billy music that would make Hee-Haw's Grandpa Jones shake, rattle and roll over in his grave. Founded in '00 as a jug band, 'DFPP' now mixes other American roots forms into the breading batter as well. Bluegrass, Folk, Rockabilly, Blues and Honky-Tonk tunes pepper their set lists.
The musical phenomenon's performances include hillbilly-style punk-rock covers and rollicking original tunes.

*2004 John Lennon Songwriting Contest Award for the song 'Picklejuice'
