   About Laura Reed & Deep Pocket
Laura Reed & Deep Pocket fill the stage with captivating, soul shaking, conscious music. The crowd is emerged with lyrics of truth and a voice of intensity backed by bass, organ, and drums, horns, and harmonies reminiscent of the past days of motown and funk.

The roots of their sound and message stem from Laura’s diverse experience of growing up in South Africa and the American South. Formed in the summer of 2006, the band switches up the music between funk, progressive R&B, and pure SOUL behind Laura Reed’s captivating stage presence.

Laura Reed’s tasteful rhythm section, Deep Pocket, consists of Ryan Burns on piano, synth, and organ, Ben Didelot on bass, Jimbonk on drums and Debrissa McKinney AKA "masta harmoniza” on vocals and Saxophone. You will also catch Deep Pocket with the addition of tasteful guitar by Silas Durocher, the funky Asheville Horns, Craig Sorrell on funky trumpet, Soul Revolutionary Sidney Barnes, music master Josh Phillip, the Infamous Bobby Lee Rogers on guitar, the Legendary Ike Stubblefield on organ/keys, and visionary DJ Kurfu..as well as other surprise guests.

Throughout their career Laura Reed & Deep Pocket have shared the stage with/recorded with: The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, George Clinton, AKIL and Quan Star (Jurassic 5), Kofe Burbridge (Derek Trucks Band), Karl Denson, Nigel Hall (Lettuce/soulive), Peter Rowan, Belita Woods (PFUNK), Gary "Star Child" Shider (PFUNK), Rob Mercurio (Galactic), Larry Jackson (Earth Wind and Fire), Ike Stubblefield, Peter Keys, Danny Bendrosian (PFUNK), Kendra Foster (PFUNK), Bobby Lee Rogers, Damien Horn, Darnell Levin, Peter Keys, Sam Bush, The Blue Rags, The Overtakers, Natti Love Joys, The Lee Boys, Dan Adams (Chaka Khan), Blueground Undergrass, D.C. (Dr. Dre/Erykah Badu), and Pato Banton.

Laura Reed and Deep Pocket currently has 2 albums out for sale, as well as exclusive mp3 singles on itunes/amazon. Their debut studio album Soul:Music was released in the fall of 2007. The album was recorded at Asheville's Echo Mountain Studios. Their latest album is a Live Studio effort recorded in 2 different sessions at Tree Sound Studios in Atlanta Georgia. This comes with a Live show dvd that also features interviews with Laura and road footage from their last year of touring. They are currently in the studio working on their 2nd studio album which they plan to release in the next year, this will also be recorded at Tree sound Studios and released through Tree Leaf Music

This music is visionary in it's strive to spread a message of empathy for humanity in the unconditional form of One Love music, and the raw reflection of the human condition. Laura states music as the most honest and pure expression in her life, a language that allows her to release "what I could never even admit to myself or say out loud, but can sing.” When she sings you can feel her soul coming through, whether it’s smooth R&B, funk, Reggae, just straight up SOUL MUSIC.
