The Empty Pockets
A joyful friction of blues, Americana, folk, and rock n' roll spiked with roots soul. A live band at heart.

Honestly, we are already getting excited for this show in our hometown on July 10th, 2025. This is worth road-tripping for, I swear. The whole thing is to benefit Will's Place Skokie (offering meaningful employment to adults with disabilities) so it's an amazing cause. But the show itself, featuring our uncle Al Stewart, not actually our uncle, our beloved Chicago blues collaborator, Lynne Jordan (who was just announced at Chicago Blues Fest, by the way!!) and one of our personal favorite singer songwriters ever, Todd Kessler. And that's just to name a few! We're designing the show loosely on The Band's infamous 'The Last Waltz' concert movie, with The Empty Pockets backing everyone up plus a big finale song at the end. This is going to be really special. So put July 10th on your calendar and get to the Chicago area and North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie for this major event!
There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
