There was NOT a single song they played that wasn't perfect. All of our guests commented on how awesome the band was and we all had a blast. The overall talent of the group is outstanding and we really liked the dynamic of a male and female vocalist."

"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 to 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..."

Reviews
Josh and the Empty Pockets were WONDERFUL! We are still getting compliments about how amazing they were and how much fun people had dancing to them at our wedding. Not only do they have the versatility of both male and female singers, they also learned three songs just for us and those turned out great as well. I worked with Erika throughout my planning process and she was SUCH a pleasure to work with, always on top of everything and very easy going.
I would definitely recommend using Josh and the Empty Pockets if you need a band for any type of event!
Josh and the Empty Pockets were amazing. The band is extremely versatile and covers a broad range of music. They were able to play something for everyone and keep the party rocking until the very end. If Josh and the Empty Pockets isn't your style, check out gigmasters.com (where we found them) and I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Good luck!
