Andres Picado was born in a small rural town in Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica. He grew up helping his parents with farming and ranching while attending school. From a very young age, he dreamed of learning to play the guitar and at the age of 16, with the support of his mother, he was able to buy his first guitar.

Later, Andres moved to Quepos in search of work. He spent many years in the hotel industry, teaching himself to play guitar in his spare time and dreaming of one day performing at restaurants and events. His passion for music led him to travel to San José to study and further develop his skills.

While working as a driver here at Tulemar, he got the opportunity to play live music at Tule Café. Since then, Andres has dedicated the past 4 years entirely to music, performing regularly at Tule Café, Victorias Italian Restaurant, and various tourist venues in and around the Quepos area.

You can catch him live at Tule Café every Monday (5-7 pm) and Saturday (4:30-6:30 pm). Come for the music, stay for the stunning ocean views and delicious Costa Rican dishes.
