Live In Seattle
Americana quartet The Empty Pockets play a soulful, 70’s-inspired blend of exploratory grooves, shifting time signatures and distinctive vocals. After earning their first Billboard #1 with the acclaimed 2022 release of Outside Spectrum (topping the Blues Albums Chart), Chicago Roots Rock band The Empty Pockets are back on the road with a new full length album in the works. The husband and wife fronted quartet are at the peak of their musical skills.
The Empty Pockets are a live band at heart, and it shows.
“The Empty Pockets come prepared to hook your ears. Their wily tunes ooze industrious spirit, imagination and heart with tight and gritty Americana rhythms.”
— The Big Takeover
“...a talented band who continue to operate at the top of their game.”
— Plastic Magazine
“They’re not limiting themselves based on creative wits, but instead getting all the more creative with their sound because of their willingness to make something familiar feel original again.”
— Pulse Music
