"Pickett's major strengths lie in his ear for melody and harmony, with the breezier songs like The Mystic's Trip and Thank You Where Did You Go?  backdropped by weighty, sumptuous vocal arrangements.” - Sydney Morning Herald

"Slightly creepy, strangely soothing, and entirely enthralling, Jethro Pickett’s latest offering Gene is your golden ticket to the world’s most twisted chocolate factory." - Happy Mag

Maverick songwriter/producer Jethro Pickett crafts beguiling, off-kilter recordings, moored by charming melodies and spools of 24-track instrumentation. Currently based in lutruwita/Tasmania, ‘Jolene (not a cover)’ is the prince of freak folk’s latest single. The track and accompanying film clip by Ursula Woods are out now on Behind the Beat Records. 

The latest single is a heartfelt composition influenced by the storytelling prowess of the legendary Dolly Parton. Drawing inspiration from Dolly's ability to create deep, relatable characters, Jethro wistfully weaves a narrative that tugs at the heartstrings and leaves a lasting impact. Mostly recorded in a 120-year-old Tasmanian apple shed on poles in the Huon river, the track stands out with its lush production and emotive lyrics. It's been said that this is a sistine chapel of songs that is sure to resonate with audiences everywhere.
