The Empty Pockets have a fabulous smooth sound and wonderful chemistry. We enjoyed the show thoroughly and only wish they’d stayed to play another set (or three!). We’ll definitely go see them again when they’re next in town.

The Empty Pockets Biography

Chicago blues rock band, The Empty Pockets ignite a bright flame of their own by harnessing a joyful friction between Americana, folk, and rock ‘n’ roll spiked with roots soul. The Chicago quartet—Josh Solomon [guitar, vocals], Erika Brett [keyboards, vocals], Nate Bellon [bass, vocals], and Adam Balasco [drums]—lean on an unspoken, yet airtight musical dialogue honed by countless miles on the road, performances alongside the likes of Kenny Loggins, a procession of fan favorite releases (including two, #1 debuts), and a wealth of memories together. The musicians shine brighter than ever going into 2025, touring on the strength of their top-of-the-charts releases, the band has never sounded better.
