Poketful a Change formed in 2008 by Jon Hamann from Minneapolis, MN creating original songs played with passion combining elements of Alternative, Bluegrass, Folk Rock, etc. The band name has multiple meanings: They prefer not to be placed in a particular musical genre pocket, rather play from their hearts and welcome the sounds that are created. Overall, Poketful a Change performs and creates music for all to listen to and embrace knowing that everyone has their own Poketful a Change. The band is continuing to evolve to find like minded musicians, hence Change. We sometime play as a full band and have done solo or duet shows . We continue to play shows and meet musicians that we feel compliment our sound. We are available for any type of show or venue, from a coffee shop to large arenas.
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be!! We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend stopping by during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Again, here's the event info:
Friday, June 26th Trocaderos 107 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 18+ // $6 // 8pm
Please come out and support some great local music!! Music starts at 9:30pm, we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
A brutal night of original music, and a chance for fans to lay down their support for live broadcasting of independents in the twin cities. Monday, March 2. Kitty Cat. Hope you are there for the party.
