Pop Culture is a 6 piece experimental rock and jam band with influences traversing all genres. From Funk, Jazz, Prog, and R&B, the band is sure to take you on a cosmic journey through impressive musicianship, head-spinning jams, and a chemistry that is only possible among great friends. Originally founded in 2021 by Michael Boccuzzi (keys, vocals), Mike Wolfe (guitar), and Foster Valle (bass, vocals), the band now includes Joe Winslow (sax, vocals), John Fedison (Guitar), Grady Collingbourne (drums, vocals).

Inspired by infectious, inventive instrumental dance bands like Soulive and Snarky Puppy, Pocket Bandits is a modern twist on the old-school organ trio: the power of a big band in a tiny package. Joe Massa delivers intense, vibrant electric guitar; Simon Bjarning throws down funky, majestic drums; Samuel B. Lupowitz juggles melodies, harmonies, and basslines on Hammond organ, synthesizers, and pedal keyboards. Thrilling your senses and filling the dance floor, Pocket Bandits engage their audience with dynamic original compositions, as well as crowd-pleasers by The Beatles, Chappell Roan, Steely Dan, and even the Super Mario Brothers.
