Title: Scary Pockets - awesome funk band covering popular songs with amazing singers
Post by: The Walrus on October 16, 2019, 08:27:02 AM

These people are the most talented group of musicians I've seen in quite a while... and every single vocalist they play with is gifted. Check these out... they're on Spotify, but I can't stop watching all their videos on YouTube. Also their keyboardist, Jack Conte, is CEO/co-founder of Patreon. I'm still digging through their many covers but I have not found a single one that hasn't impressed me... Hope you all enjoy... it's helping me out a lot right now. also every girl they play with is a babe

Dang, I was hoping some people would dig this. I just keep finding more and more awesome takes on popular music from these people.

A similar thing to that is Postmodern Jukebox, they do swing/jazz versions of modern tunes. Really great stuff!
