Limited Physical Editions

A record made the human way.

Dear Billionaires was captured with all four of us playing together in Abbey Road Studio 2. Instead of polishing away the mistakes, movement or electricity, the tracks are exactly as we played them live - four musicians listening and responding to one another in real life.

Vintage instruments, live harmonies, and the natural sound of the room give these songs their warmth, scale and urgency.

It sounds like a band because it is one.

SO, WHY DEAR BILLIONAIRES?

This is not a record about people we will never meet.

It's about us.

The people working, loving, worrying, laughing, getting by and trying to build a life while the ground keeps moving underneath them.

Across ten songs, Dear Billionaires looks at money, work, relationships, survival and the question underneath all of it:

Who can ordinary people rely on?

“Quite possibly one of the most underrated bands in existence today” ~Goldmine Magazine
FOR FANS OF...

The Empty Pockets' audience overlaps with fans of Lake Street Dive, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wilco, Little Feat, and other harmony-driven contemporary Americana and roots rock artists.

A melting pot of rock, blues, and Americana, all punctuated with tight harmonies. Known for their infectious energy and original storytelling, the band is pioneering a new wave of roots rock.

Grateful Web

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

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

a talented band who continue to operate at the top of their game.
