    Artist description
    The Harmonica Pocket is a deliciously unusual recipe for music with minimal ingredients: guitar, drums, and words. The avante-pop-jazz tunes consciously play with notions of space between the instruments, giving a distinct and important voice to each instrument as it drops in and out of the delicate mix. Players are encouraged *not* to play the entire song and the result is a highly dynamic, low volume, un-crowded sound that will put a smile on your ears. The Harmonica Pocket walks the curb between rehearsed material and spontaneous music by regularly inviting local Seattle and Vancouver musicians to sit in at live performances and in the studio. Such an undertaking forces the players to listen and interact musically rather than just reiterating pre-arranged parts. The result is raw music which is rarely delivered the same way twice. The Harmonica Pocket’s debut release titled “Underneath Your Umbrella” takes musical risks and captures this sound over the course of the 15 tracks. From beatbox and standup bass, to harmonica and didgeridoo, The Harmonica Pocket combines untraditional instruments and pulls it off with refreshing results.
