Blues rock for the holidays
The Empty Pockets craft a soulful blend of rootsy blues, classic rock, and Midwestern folk, anchored by powerful vocals and sharp songwriting. Their musical chops have been honed backing legends like Al Stewart, Gary Wright, Simon Kirke, and Kenny Loggins, and their own work has earned two #1 spots on the Billboard Blues Albums chart. Known affectionately as the “baseball band,” you might find them singing the national anthem or 7th inning stretch at MLB and MiLB stadiums across the country, building a loyal fanbase one city at a time.
The Empty Pockets infuse holiday classics like “Let It Snow” and “Run Run Rudolph” with fresh blues-rock energy, while showcasing their own fun and festive originals like “Snow Day” and “Party at the North Pole.” Blending holiday cheer with songs from their #1 Billboard Blues albums, the band is hitting the road this season for a dozen exhilarating shows. They’re calling it the Snow Day Holiday Tour.
