The Empty Pockets

Ten Cent Tour

MT Pockets

This very likable folk band from Chicago are Josh Solomon on guitar, Nate Bellon on bass, Danny Rosenthal on drums, and Erika Brett on keyboard. Josh, Nate, and Erika take turns on lead vocals.

They recently released Live In Seattle, but Ten Cent Tour, despite its name, was recorded in the band’s studio. It is very polished, well-played, and well-sung. The two standout tracks are “Leaving Jackson,” where Erika Brett shines, and “Traveling Song,” which showcases the guys. This is the first thing I’ve heard from this band, and it's so good I can’t wait to hear the live album.
