On iTunes

Here's what some have had to say about our discs...

"We get about 100 albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 100,000 total), and yours is one of the best I've ever heard." – Derek Sivers, owner/founder of CD Baby

"Even without the full 7-piece band, 4 still represents all that is good about Pocket Change – superb musicianship, crisp compositions, and a fire not often heard in bands these days. And the fact that all the recordings were done in front of a live audience gives the album an urgency and immediacy that I’ve grown to expect from their shows. Whether 7 strong, or paired down to the quartet, one fact remains...P-Change is still P-Change!" - Jason Parker, KPLU Seattle

"...I love it! The soul and R&B that a lot bands play now doesn't have the full, tight sound P-Change has. The musical complexity drives the overall movement instead of slowing it down..." - Rabid P-Change Fan

"...the resulting sound manages to be classic but not dated. Fans of mid-70's mainstays like The Headhunters and Tower of Power will find these instrumental jams right up their alley, a funk blend that is accessible and catchy from the get go..." - CD Baby editor review

P-Change is a tight septet composed of Seattle's up and coming Jazz and Funk musicians. Incredible energy, booming bass, pounding drums, screaming guitar and keys, and fiery horns seperate Pocket Change from the rest. Their goal is to get you up moving with their deep groove, playing both time tested funk by the likes of The Headhunters, Stevie Wonder, and Soulive, as well as their own jazz-infused originals.

A band of musicians deeply entrenched in the Seattle music scene, members of P-Change have been, and still are, a part of countless projects including Hardcoretet, Vunt Foom, The Boogilistics, The Teaching, Industrial Revelation, Seduction, The Tim Kennedy Quintet, and many others.

Pocket Change has performed at:
The Triple Door Main Stage
The Triple Door Musicquarium
Qwest Field
The Bite of Seattle
Nectar Lounge
The Tractor Tavern
Tost
The High Dive
Brouwer's
The U-District Street Fair

Just wanted to remind everyone, the festival is coming up in about three weeks or so and tickets are about to go up in price on July 23rd. Now is the time to get your tickets. 30+ bands on three stages, camping on 40 acres next to the river and epic views of glacier capped Whitehorse Mountain from the stage. It's about 75 minutes north of Seattle in Darrington WA. This is going to be one of the best years yet, so please tell all your friends and spread the word about the tickets going up next week. Visit the official site by clicking on the graphic below to get all the details.
