Red Betty

Liz Pickard is a country singer and songwriter from rural Upstate NY. Their music career began as an old-time andbluegrass rhythm guitarist, gigging at cattle auctions, square dances, and small town parades. Liz’s songs blend a traditional Bakersfield sound with a modern take on class and gender, with lyrics born out of many years offarming and rural life as a non-binary person.

In April 2024, Liz and their band Red Betty proudly released the music video for Liz’s first single, “I Need a Little Cowboy (In My Man)." The song tackles Liz’s own complicated relationship to gender roles as a closeted queer person whose skill and expertise is constantly undermined by the perception that female-bodied farmers could not be taken seriously. The story documents an internalization of patriarchy as a survival mechanism, as Liz navigates the world of livestock and heavy machinery while longing for a romance which isn’t threatened by their masculinity.

Co-produced by Liz and director Michelle Kowalski, the video racked up over 9,000 views across YouTube and social media platforms within its first week. True to the genre, the song is full of cheeky puns, and is often described by friends and fans as catchy and hilarious. Give it a listen and you might see why it has all of Liz’s real-life sweethearts wondering, “Am I cowboy enough?”
