The Pocket is a distinctly original band that combines alternative rock with authentic reggae roots. This combination creates an international sound for today's selective audience. Sincere vocals, memorable lyrics and an infectious stage energy always leaves listeners wanting more. For the last two years, The Pocket has been touring the US and the Caribbean. They have performed on the main stage at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival with icons Roberta Flack, Third World and Nora Jones. The Pocket also had the honor of showcasing at The Bob Marley 60th Anniversary Festival presented by Tuff Gong. During their Caribbean tour, The Pocket lit up the Jamaican coastline performing at Western Consciousness while thousands of college spring breakers were also blown away by the party all night performances at Margaritaville, Negril.
Washington DC based lead vocalist, Omar Teitelbaum, brings extraordinary talent and unmistakable character to both the studio and the stage. Originally from Jamaica, lead guitarist Terrence Brown musically guides the group with his insightful presence and positive vibrations. Matt "Wonderboy" Wood, both keyboardist and rapper extraordinaire, fits into the groove perfectly along with Brendan McCourt, a dynamic 'lock it in the pocket' drummer. Bassist, Sean Meyers, lays down a thick, deep groove accompanied by sultry background vocals to complete the band's tapestry of sound.
The Pocket's acclaimed "Out of Many One" album, mixed by Errol Brown (Bob Marley's main engineer), has seen international success. The first two pop reggae singles "Lila Rose" and "Oceanside (Rooftop in Kingston)" are quickly gaining recognition and respect in Jamaica on Irie FM, Zip and many other radio stations. The Pocket has also performed at some of the best live music venues in the US including: 9:30 Club in Washington DC, Fox Theater in Boulder, CO and Malibu Inn in Los Angeles. With incredible vocals, thought provoking lyrics, and a strong reggae influence, this is something truly unique. The Pocket is a dedicated band with an ever-growing fan base and are poised and prepared to take it to the next level in Jamaica, the US and beyond.
