Pick of the Week — Warrior Spirit Band
This week’s Pick of the Week was created for a unique band known as the Warrior Spirit Band. “They are the first all wounded warrior band in the US. Their mission is to bring awareness to various disabilities our veterans and soldiers face once they come home after war. They use music as a healing tool and a way to tell their stories of the experiences they had during combat and the struggles they have faced since coming home. Their goal is to make sure that every veteran that has a disability knows [...]
Pick of the Week — Herbango
This week’s Pick of the Week was made for a band called Herbango. “The band is based in Sacramento, California. Herbango plays a mix of songs which sound like folk, rock, blues or country, so the genre can be hard to label. In addition to original music, the band interprets tunes composed by Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones and others in their own way. Herbango performances may include versions of traditional music taken from country, bluegrass or even celtic sources, but redone to give them an upbeat rock and roll [...]

Pick of the Week — Jeff Latham Band
This week’s Pick of the Week was created by Jeff Latham for the Jeff Latham band. We really liked the full color logo that was printed on our white pearl rounded triangle picks. Here is a little about Jeff and his band: “Growing up in West Texas on a heavy diet of mom’s Johnny Paycheck and dad’s Don Williams, Jeff Latham was greatly influenced by the country classics which is decidedly evident in his voice. From George Jones and Hank Williams Jr. to contemporary country artists Toby Keith and [...]
Pick of the Week — The Madow Brothers
This week’s Pick of the Week was created for an unusual band called The Madow Brothers…the team here at Clayton really loved their story! “The Madow Brothers – Dr. Richard Madow and Dr. David Madow, are two dentists (and brothers) who have been teaching their colleagues how to have more successful practices and enjoy their profession more for over 22 years. In 1995, they had a crazy idea – that instead of being a boring snoozefest, a dental seminar could be like a rock concert. With that in mind they created [...]

Pick of the Week — Borrowed Time
This week’s Pick of the Week is for a Blues/Rock jam band/cover band in suburban Chicago called Borrowed Time. Here is a little about the band from guitarist Michael Sommerfeld: “What we really are is a bunch of old friends with wives and kids who started getting together at a studio on Thursday nights to just jam for the hell of it. After about 5 years we realized we were making some good music and we should start playing in front of people. So we started playing local [...]
Go All Out
We decided to showcase a couple of really nice overbleed custom pick designs. Overbleed, or full bleed, is an option for custom picks that allows you to create your design so that the art, graphics, photos, text, etc. will extend all the way to the very edge of the pick, instead of having a border around them. This simple change in the normal design process will allow for some really cool effects, like the picks shown below. The pick [...]
