Oliver & Sebastian Pigott: Brothers In Music
I’ve previously (briefly) written about the Pigott brothers. I would like to share a little more of them with you. I’ve been fortunate to see these young men perform three times over the past month. During this time Jake, Glamma, and myself have gotten to know Oliver and Sebastian better musically and personally.

Like most independent musicians, the Pigott brothers are in it for the music. I’m sure they wouldn’t turn down a big record deal and oodles of cash, but, at heart, it is all about the music. This emanates through their live shows. They LOVE what they do and they do it well.
Sebastian is a dapper young man who, at times, seems to have stepped directly out of the 50’s. He’s as comfortable singing a standard as he is a rock song. There were times I felt like I was watching Johnny Cash emerging from the 60’s in front of my eyes. Sebastian is charismatic, yet not cocky and rips into songs such as, “Blue Moon Of Kentucky” in a manner that makes you believe he is from another time in music history. He can change it up on a dime and break into a modern grove with originals such as, my favorite of his songs, “Sinking California.”
Oliver, the eldest of the three Pigott children, has been the man of the house since the passing of their father; who was also a passionate musician. “Ollie” definitely exudes a vibe of strength on stage and off. His vocals are commanding, yet his interaction with the audience is soft spoken and humble. There is a raw emotion in his lyrics that puts me in mind of Tom Waits. At times when I watch him perform I see a young Springsteen. Mostly I see a fresh new face that has just scratched the surface of his writing/vocal talent, which is evident in his original song “Still On Your Mind.”
I am notorious for taking in “stray boys.” I would take these two in a heartbeat if they were in need of a home! Off stage they are polite, gracious, funny, and generous: absolutely genuine. Alas, they are not in need of rescue. It has been my pleasure to spend time with the brothers as well as their mom, Linda, and younger sister, Charlotte. The four Pigotts are tight knit. They are what every family unit should be: respectful and loving. Linda, a doctor and a writer, has raised three great people! She’s at every performance, along with Charlotte, both working the door and selling CD’s. Charlotte recently returned to Canada after modeling in New Zeeland. She is also an aspiring writer and like her big brothers: She’s loveable and funny. To say I adore this family is an understatement.
I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to meet many musicians, artists, and actors, through Jake and Glamma @ House Of Glamma. I’ve met a lot of amazing talents who have gifted me with the opportunity to shoot film and video of them. I’ve also met some awesome musicians through Myspace and hope to showcase several of them in the months to come.
The music business is rapidly changing in, this, the digital age. It is SO imperative that all music lovers pay for the art they are listening to. The small download fees artist’s like Ollie and Sebastian charge is what allows them to make more music. I don’t think it’s cool to rip off ANY artist, but it is even worse to steel from those who are scraping the bottom of the barrel to get by. End of rant…
Please take some time to visit Oliver and Sebastian’s Myspace pages, check out their music, and if you like what you hear: gift yourself with a couple of Cds. Also: Add these two great guys to your Myspace friends! They would love to meet you!
