The Empty Pockets

To describe a handcrafted beer, you might say it’s a brew with an emphasis on enthusiasm, new flavors, and varied techniques. A similar parallel can be made with The Empty Pockets: enthusiasm, new flavors and handcrafted techniques that combine Americana rock ’n roll, folk and the blues for some seriously infectious fun. “Polished yet rootsy Chicago outfit Empty Pockets” (Rolling Stone) celebrates old-school classic rock, folk, and the blues, skillfully blending musicianship with singer/songwriter catharsis with rich harmonies. AMD Entertainment says, “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.” Indie Voice endorses the band as “indie music’s answer to Lady Antebellum and Little Big Town, with a more folky sound,” and Chicago Tonight says the band is “equal parts sweetness, wit and truth.”

The Empty Pockets’ spirited pop-leaning country, Americana and folk, with spotless instrumentation and effortless, upbeat vocal harmonies are bold flavors straight from the soul. As the Daily Vault Album Reviews proclaims: “Buddy Holly would be proud.”
