Soul Pickers
 

The Soul Pickers are a four piece bluegrass-gospel band from Hazel Green, AL. The band's journey together began in September of 2003, when three friends followed the Lord's leadership and formed the band. Since that time, the Soul Pickers have done over 275 dates, including special church singings, homecomings, and revivals. They have also had doors opened to places where gospel music is not so highly regarded, like restaurants, civic gatherings, family functions, music barns, festivals, as well as numerous radio and television appearances.

Members of the band include Shane Norman (lead vocals and mandolin), Wayne Clemons (tenor vocals and upright bass), Daniel Wiseman (guitar), and Tyler Anderson (baritone vocals and banjo). The band boasts of one the most versatile sounds in the business, ranging from hard driving instrumentation and strong vocal harmonies, to a smooth, soulful finesse.
