What is The Harmonica Pocket?
Silly and sweet, The Harmonica Pocket is a young at heart band from Port Townsend, Washington. Harmonica Pocket shows are upbeat and festive, but not frenetic. Audiences are drawn in by catchy, engaging songs and unexpected props. Humor, improvisation and play are generously sprinkled on top. Shows incorporate a loop pedal to "build a band" right in front of the audience's ears. Each instrument is played one at a time to create layers of sound – acoustic guitar, bass, ukulele, wah-wah guitar solos, harmonicas, and vocal harmonies. |
Harmonica Pocket kids shows are about connecting with the audience in a playfully positive environment with no wrong answers. Kids (and their grownups) are creatively empowered to answer questions and improvise rhymes, which are then woven into songs in the moment. Sparks and smiles fly as kids hear their ideas amplified onstage.
