Hip Pocket is a reincarnation of one of the most popular rock 'n' roll bands in the Mid-Ohio Valley from the 1990's: Brass Menagerie. 4 of the 8 original members reunited and added 4 of the strongest musicians in the area to recreate the sound that had been missing from the MOV mix for several years. The band specializes in an eclectic mix of soul, blues, rock, and contemporary music from the 60's thru today. Hip Pocket's sound is pleasantly unmistakeable. An 8-piece fusion of intricate brass, driving rhythms, and lush vocal harmonies make Hip Pocket a unique and entertaining musical medium for listeners of all ages.
Please add JAMMIN' HORIZONS http://myspace.com/jamminghorizon to your friends list. Going in the studio May 30th for a 4 song demo. Music coming soon. Music is more blues/folk rock oriented. The band consists of Me(Brock) and Mike Dahl and MaryMary and my brother Derek.
Thanks for the add to your friends list. I have seen your name on signs around town and in the Free Time section of the Newspaper. Now that I know who is in the band, I will definitely make it a point to get out and see you.
