“If you only knew how good this act is. the pickPocket Ensemble play a certain style of music that can’t be found anywhere… Middle Eastern? Gipsy Music? let’s call it pickPocket style. If I Were A Highway is their best production and it should be looked closely not as a pop phenomenon nor as a potential world success, but just as beautiful music with no boundaries of any kind. The world needs this band ASAP.” -Javier Moreno, CacaoRock

IF I WERE A HIGHWAY THE PICKPOCKET ENSEMBLE:
Rick Corrigan, Will High,
Marguerite Ostrovski, Tim Fox
The pickPocket Ensemble play a wonderfully unselfconscious amalgamation of folk music from around the world. The group is led by accordionist Rick Corrigan, who also writes the bulk of their material and filled out by violin, double bass, guitar and percussion. Along with both the Parisian and Eastern European influences that form the bedrock of The pickPocket Ensemble, Corrigan has been further embracing the sounds of Klezmer music and in addition he seems to be delving into the realms of both Spanish and Nubian music. But parsing out specific influences with the pickPocket Ensemble is a tricky thing as Corrigan's superb arrangements are knit so tightly it becomes difficult to separate the musical threads. The result of course is just plain fine music that can only come from the pickPocket Ensemble.
