Vintage rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly bounce and laid-back funk: Pick and The Pockets bring a distinctive, lively sound to weddings, corporate functions and private events. Based in Sydney and happy to travel, this quartet pairs guitar and vocals with double bass, drums and saxophone.
Pick and The Pockets bring vintage rock ’n’ roll, rockabilly rhythm and a generous dose of funk to events with personality. This Sydney quartet has a sound built for movement: the pulse of double bass, the snap of drums, guitar and vocals at the centre, and saxophone adding colour and bite.
Led by Reuben Ryan on guitar and vocals, the band brings four distinct musical voices together in a lively, rhythmic conversation. Double bass gives the music its warmth and bounce. Drums drive it forward. Saxophone cuts through with melodic hooks, while Reuben’s guitar and vocals tie the sound together. It’s a combination with plenty of character, made for guests who appreciate the musicianship as much as the chance to dance.
Their musical world takes in the rockabilly spirit of Elvis, the driving rock ’n’ roll of The Beatles and the laid-back funk groove of War’s ‘Low Rider’. Familiar songs give guests something to connect with, while the quartet’s instrumentation brings texture and a distinctive flavour to the occasion. There’s nostalgia in the repertoire and a playful energy in the sound.
