Pickled Okra is in an entirely different category of Americana string band.  Skirting the edges of many genres, their sound and style is perhaps the child of bluegrass married with funk, reggae, rockabilly, and some other surprises.  At the core of it all is the Pickled Okra duo:  Todd and Paisley Gray, a charmingly quirky yet well-dressed ol’ married couple.  Their intricate harmonies weave together with the high tones of mandolin, and low bellows of the upright bass.  Banjo is often added to the mix, and dished out with expertise by one of several renowned local masters.  They have gained recognition for delighting audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest, and their recordings have attracted the attention of music industry fixtures as far away as the UK.
