Must See Live Music Sessions: Pick Up and Play

ATB live music sessions

If you love a great jam session, you’ll love Pick Up and Play.

What is Pick Up and Play?

Pick Up and Play is a weekly live session of music videos. It’s a cover series by the Canadian Band ‘Across The Board’. I have to admit, they are awesome at what they do.

If you don’t believe, check out their cover of  The Chain by Fleetwood Mac below ( checkout more awesome jam sessions by subscribe to ATB on Youtube) :

The premise of the show is that Across The Board literally choose a song to cover, learn it and shoot the music video in one session. They are now in their 56th week of production, having started one year ago.

The band members are multi instrumentalists and vocalists and sometimes they play musical chairs, switching between drums, guitars, and other instruments, trading off vocal leads. It’s incredible to watch and listeners can help but jam and sing along.

What I love about the band is that they cross through genres of rock, country, indie and pop, ATB covers, write original songs and spend most of their play time online rocking it out to thousands of internet viewers!

They always try to incorporate interesting instruments. This week they are going to feature a Chinese Harp in their rendition of Beck’s “Blue Moon” with guest musician Marlon Chaplin.
