Pocket Change
***** Pocket Change *****
I recently caught an absolutely dynamite “local” rock-disco-funk-Motown cover band…Pocket Change.
There are 6 guys in this band and everything they play is “live”…no tracks, no tapes. These guys cover artists like The Eagles, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Tokens, The Commodores, Sam & Dave, Prince…and I do mean “COVER” them…Absolutely great musical versions accompanied by some-slick dancing by the upfront men.
This band is so good, that for years, it has been a regular act at joints like Universal Studios, Disney World and Orlando’s House of Blues. These guys also play in tons of local South Florida restaurants-bars, like Blue Martini which has a number of locations.
You definitely want to check this band out…. www.pocketchangephasetwo.webs.com where you will find a full schedule of upcoming performances.
Hey Jeff, Pocket Change played a private party at the Woodfield Country Club a couple of weeks ago. They were excellent. As you wrote, great covers of Temps and 4 Tops. I highly recommend this band.
HELLO, JEFF. I MAY BE A LITTLE BIAS WHEN IT COMES TO MY OPINION OF POCKET CHANGE ONLY BECAUSE I RELATE TO ONE OF THE MEMBERS. BUT BEFORE HE WAS A PART OF THE BAND, I THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE ‘GREAT’. I WATCHED THEM AS THEY HAVE GROWN IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND I CAN SAY WITHOUT PREJUDICE THAT THEY CAN BECOME THE SIGNATURE OPENING BAND FOR ANY FAMOUS ARTIST/BAND WHO MIGHT PERFORM. I SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL IN EACH MEMBER AND THE LEAD GUITAR PLAYER, EDDIE ‘THE THRILL’ CAN PLAY CIRCLES AROUND SOM OF THE BEST. CHECK OUT ‘WHOSE THAT LADY’ PERFORMED BY THE ISLEYS AND COMPARE.
Saw Pocket Change on Satuday night at Blue Martini in Boca. Incredibly hot band. These guys play everything like disco, motown, blues, old rock. Don’t miss them.
Was at Blue Martini last night. The Boca crowd went nuts for these guys. They can play and are real showmen. I make a special trip to Blue Martini when I know that they will be playing.
I saw this band in action at Blue Martini. Great covers.
Recently caught them at City Place. Terrific covers.
