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. Incredible 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 Jamaica. Recently, they were seen performing mainstage at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival with music icons Roberta Flack,Third World and Nora Jones.

The Pocket also had the honor of showcasing the band at The Bob Marley 60th Anniversary Festival presented by Tuff Gong. During their 2005 Carribean tour, The Pocket lit up the Jamaican coastline as thousands of college spring breakers were blown away by the live 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 dynamic 'lock it in the pocket' drummer, BB, originally from New Orleans. Thick bass, soulful saxophone and sultry background singers complete the band's tapestry of sound.

The Pocket's highly anticipated new album "Out of Many One" will hit record stores over the next few months. The single "Lila Rose" is quickly gaining recognition in Jamaica on Irie FM, RJR and many other radio stations. The Pocket has also performed at some of the best live music venues in the US such as: 9:30 Club in Washington DC, Fox Theater in Boulder, CO and Malibu Inn in Los Angeles.

The Pocket has a way of transcending mainstream sound by creating an energy that excites, soothes and inspires audiences from all over. This group is a dedicated band with an ever-growing fan base. The Pocket is poised and prepared to take it to the next level in Jamaica, The United States and beyond.
