Michael Ray Pickens and his Old Man Country Band

Vintage Honky Tonk and Roots Rock

Don't be surprised to walk into a honky tonk somewhere and stumble across a guy who looks exactly like Mighty Mike Schermer performing classic and original country music in styles of George Jones, Buck Owens, Ray Price and Willie Nelson...or boot scootin' roots rock reminiscent of The Mavericks and The Texas Tornados. That's Michael Ray Pickens...Mighty Mike's alt-country alter ego...paying tribute to and showing his love for this timeless era of American music! If you love old school country music you'll love having the Old Man Country Band perform at your next event!

"Schermer is a musical giant...He’s one of a small army who give it their all to make sure country music stays fresh, sometimes funny and other times heartbreaking. This is clearly a man who appreciates the history of all those who came before him, and wants to give inspiration to those who come after. A musical believer." 
Bill Bentley - Americana Highways 

“I'm here to tell ya that country music ain't nothin' but the blues…songs of struggle and heartaches told by someone whose paid their dues”  Mighty Mike Schermer from his song “Country Roots”
