The Empty Pockets

Live In Seattle

MT Pockets

The live album from this very likable indie folk/country band is a chance for the whole band to shine. The harmonies are great. Erica Brett is a wonderful singer and keyboard player. I love Marc Macisso’s flute and harmonica solos, and Josh Soloman’s guitar solo is also good.

The songs span their last few albums. My favorites are “Traveling Song,” “Leaving Jackson,” and “The Bubble,” about getting off the internet and connecting with people. I haven’t seen them live yet, and I want to, so I have a request of the band for that reason: Play World Café Live in Philly. I will be there in an instant, and know I’ll have a great time.
