Sidepocket

Description:
A large part of the band’s draw has to be attributed to its unique sound. While the group is reminiscent of a dozen of rock’s finest past offerings, it uses these roots to create a style singularly unlike that of any rock band playing today. Whether the band is pleasing the crowd with a classic rock cover tune, or performing something from their own catalog, the sound is a funky, groove oriented rock exploration dotted with improvisation and plenty of good, old-fashioned rock & roll attitude.

Known for high-energy performances, rollicking improv, and a set list that changes with every show, SidePocket is a genre-bending answer for music lovers disappointed by the current radio offerings. Switching from straight funk to classic rock, even Latin styled jams, SidePocket’s thumping grooves, fiery guitar leads and powerful vocal harmonies will keep you guessing, dancing, and wanting more.

Names of band members:
Tony Koscinski, Justin Bills, Nate Osicka, Mike Foley & Luke Janecek

Style:
Rock, Blues

Black Crowes, Phish, The Big Wu, The Alman Brothers, The Meters, Joe Cocker
