Join us on Friday, April 12th, as we welcome Pocket Watch to the Sound Check Stage! Pocket Watch is a Grand Rapids based 6 piece jazz-fusion band with an old school funk vibes mixed with a new age jazz sensibility. Pocket Watch is comprised of Berklee and Michigan State alumni, with members hailing from various other groups around West Michigan like Minor Element, Earth Radio, the Verve Pipe, Squatch, Whorled, and Cosmic Knot. Members of this ensemble have prior experience with national tours opening for Five for Fighting, festival apperances with Afro Man and Spin Doctors, and memorable performaces at summer NAMM and SXSW. The group brings a mix of Snarky Puppy influenced artistry with festival jam band energy, with something for every fan to keep their interest through the night. The group has been cutting their teeth with various high profile West Michigan performances, including headlines at Holland’s Park Theatre, Grand Rapids Pyramid Scheme, and Founders Brewing. This summer, the band emerged as winners of Grand Haven’s Walk the Beat competition, receiving 40 hours of recording time at the legendary Third Coast Recording studio, owned by John Mayer and Bon Jovi collaborating engineer Bill Chyrsler. Pocket Watch is now recording their full length debut album of original music to be released in early 2024, with plans for tours around Michigan and the Midwest. Don’t miss this amazing band!
