Midwest Roots Indie rock

Sincerity, pathos and powerhouse vocals.

“Polished yet rootsy Chicago outfit Empty Pockets” (Rolling Stone) showcases multiple lead singers, rich harmonies, skilled instrumentalists, and an old-school sensibility built on Americana, Blues and Soul.

"Because when The Empty Pockets play, they don’t just go through the motions of belting out tunes and revving their guitars to impress you – their performances are offset with a vibrancy and a sort of energetic showmanship so that space and distance don’t matter in the end – rather it’s more of which of their carefully crafted songs will strike a chord within you first." (My Nguyen, AMD Entertainment)

Tanglewoods

Our newest studio album, Tanglewoods, explores how all of us are inevitably twisted together trying to make sense of it all. It's about what unites us in harmony, even though circumstances threaten to tear us apart. It's about overcoming adversity, it's about friendship, love and new life, it's about imagination and fantasy. Everything that makes us uniquely human. This is straight from the heart and certainly our best work yet.
