The Harmonica Pocket

"An acoustic treat" - Seattle's Child Magazine

“Soft, clever, and beautiful.” — New York Magazine

"The musical equivalent of a big red balloon." - Popalooza


The Harmonica Pocket is the musical project of Northwest singer-songwriter Keeth Monta Apgar. Rich in image, harmony and rhyme, his lyrical songs tell stories about plants, love, forgiveness and the outdoors.

Built around a rotating cast of musicians, Harmonica Pocket songs are grounded in an acoustic landscape of guitars and ukuleles strummed beneath tight vocal harmonies and delicate melodies. Horn sections swell and tiny musical secrets are tucked into the corners of the mix.

All of their music is recorded off-grid using solar electricity on a tiny island in the Pacific Northwest.

Known for its inventive headphone-pop and delightfully unpredictable live shows, The Harmonica Pocket moves fluidly between solo sets and full band shows.

Solo shows feature live looping, with layered arrangements built in real time using just a handful of instruments and a loop pedal.
