Michael Pickett is a multiple award-winning Canadian blues and roots singer, guitarist and harmonica player.

Career

Michael Pickett was born in Toronto on September 19, 1950. Pickett commenced his music career as a member of Whiskey Howl, a seminal Canadian blues band, based in Toronto, Ontario. After the breakup of Whiskey Howl in the early 1970s, Pickett continued his career as the lead singer and harmonica player for blues band Wooden Teeth, of which he was a co-founder. As of the late 1970s, Pickett developed a career in his own name, with both the Michael Pickett Band and as a solo artist. Among other awards, he is the recipient of several Maple Blues Awards, honouring his contributions to blues music. Now he plays occasionally and hosts his Concert For Peace event at his home in Crystal Beach, Ontario each September.
