Pickety Split

MEET THE BAND

Cooper Eades

Mandolin, Lead Vocals

Coming to you from Catawba, North Carolina, Cooper has been playing music since he was 15, and he doesn’t plan to stop soon. He started by playing bluegrass mandolin and expanded both his instrument repertoire and music styles over time. He now plays with several bands and is always writing new music.

Luke Laehy

Guitar, Vocals

Hailing from the state of California, Luke started playing electric guitar in 2019. He cut his teeth on blues and rock, noting influences such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. Now in North Carolina, Luke has found a love for acoustic music and blends his previous musical experience with his new passion for bluegrass.

Camille Simonds

Fiddle, Vocals

A lover of music first and foremost, Camille Simonds started playing violin at age 7 and, despite complaints from her housemates in Gastonia, North Carolina, didn’t give up when she probably should have. After playing classical music throughout high school and college, she fell in love with the freedom and fun of bluegrass when a chance gig led to her joining Pickety Split. Now a music teacher and childcare professional, she strives to instill that same passion in people of all ages while enjoying creating her music of her own.
