Scary Pockets Archives

Tal Wilkenfeld joined Scary Pockets for this funky cover of Joni Mitchell’s well-covered song, “Big Yellow Taxi.”

Scary Pockets just dropped another smooth funk cover, and this is one of my favorites by the band. Joined by guest vocalist Moira Mack and bassist Travis Carlton, here’s their take on the Etta James hit, “At Last.”

“Rich Girl” is one of the all-time great tunes, largely thanks to Scotty Edwards’s epic bass line. Arielle Kasnetz joined Scary Pockets to do their version of the tune with the always funky Nick Campbell.

Scary Pockets, with the help of guest vocalist Joanna Jones and guest guitarist Joe Bonamassa, took AC/DC’s “Back in Black” and made it funky. Calvin Turner handles the low end.

Scary Pockets is back with another cover, and this one grooves, thanks in part to Joe Ayoub. Guest vocalist Sophia James fronts the band on this take of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.”

Scary Pockets was joined by guest vocalist Hunter Elizabeth and guitarist Joe Bonamassa for this excellent cover of Prince’s “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore.” Calvin Turner’s smooth bass lines back the tune perfectly.

Scary Pockets just dropped another funky cover with their guests. Joined by vocalist Sophia James and bassist Leland Sklar, here’s their cover of Charlie Puth’s “Attention.” Lee is so locked in!

Scary Pockets dropped this funky video a few days ago from their performance at The Troubadour. The band, anchored by Sean Hurley, included some special guests, including David Ryan Harris on vocals and John Mayer on guitar.

Swatkins once again joins Scary Pockets for a funky cover. And while I’m digging the work of bassist Nick Campbell on this one, I’m also digging the horns. Here’s the group doing their thing on The Bee Gees tune, “How Deep Is Your Love.”

Scary Pockets creates the most unique arrangements for the covers they play. Guitarist/vocalist Jude Smith recently joined the band, which is this time anchored by Nicole Row for this cover of Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park.”

Scary Pockets took Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” and made it their own. The funky cover was made with the help of guest vocalist Ben Barnes, along with Nick Campbell on bass, Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums and background vocals.

Here’s a new video by Scary Pockets, which once again features the groovy bass work of Joe Ayoub. Louis Cato is the guest vocalist on this funky version of Corrine Bailey Rae’s “Put Your Records On” (which also includes Jacob Collier on keys).
