It’s All About The Story

Who are Darby Picnic? 

Darby Picnic is a partnership between Lee Gregory and Kent Beatty.
Two songwriters put their heads together to create music that looks back to
the best of rock and pop history, while looking squarely towards a new future.



Post Medieval Psychedelia.

A kitchen sink of musical ideas. Painting time with big brushes and deep shades. An interconnected story of love, hurt, despair, joy, recovery, jubilation.
Deeply personal lyrics with an avalanche of sound, deep and wide. Yesterday. Tomorrow. Now.



Steering the ship towards a bright horizon.

Lee and Kent are chasing a fresh take on the rock era, leveraging familiar styles
with new ideas on what rock music was, is, and can be. When you hear them, it feels familiar, yet brand new.
Everything is pretty organic. Parts are played and recorded. Vocals are honest. Happy accidents are embraced. Sterile perfection is rejected.



Two of them.

In 2015 Lee was working on a solo album, and various people were brought in to help out.
When that turned into a live band, Kent was called in to fill out the lineup. Over a period of a year or so,
the two began tweaking parts in each other’s songs, and the writing/recording process began to take on a truly collaborative flavor.  



And now...

Everything changes. At least partly due to Covid, Darby Picnic became just the two of them, writing and
recording with no thought of performing again, and the results are diverse in a kind of extreme way. Nothing is off limits.
There are no rules. Drawing from influences stretching back almost 100 years, there’s not a lot of thought put into whether a song is commercial or not.
If it sounds good, they use it.
