Feedback
- This group is absolutely fantastic. You won't find a better group for your event, I swear it!!! We booked them for our wedding in Davenport, IA and there was no shortage of fun or dancing the entire night. High energy, great crowd interaction... they know how to keep things moving. Very professional as well. Josh and the Empty Pockets should no doubt be Number One on your list. -- Mallory J, Davenport, IA, 9/6/2008
- Josh and The Empty Pockets were amazing at our wedding! They met and exceeded our expectations. Our guests had a fantastic time, due to their performance. They arrived extra early to set up and greeted us when we walked into the room before the reception. Not only did they play all of our requests, but learned songs just for us to dance too and even surprised the bride with a song from her favorite artist! We would highly recommend the band for any event! Thank you so much and we can't wait to see you perform around Chicago again.
Yours truly, Annie and Greg Porthanb -- Greg P, Chicago, IL, 7/26/2008
