FatPocket – Featured Artist

10-Piece Party Band Feature

Today we’re featuring FatPocket, a 10-piece party band featuring razor sharp rhythms, hot horns and powerhouse vocals. Having received virtually all available accolades (Knot Best of Weddings, 2-time Riverfront Times Best Cover Band, 2-time St. Louis Magazine A-List Party Band of the Year and more), FatPocket continues to play dozens of weddings, corporate events, clubs, casinos, fairs and festivals every year.

We spoke with JayBird, the leader of FatPocket, to learn a little bit more about the band. Follow along with them on Instagram and Facebook!

Who are some of your favorite artists to cover?

Oh man, definitely Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder… I love Heatwave but we don’t get to play them often.

What should people know about the band?

They should be aware that we are an eclectic group that derives its energy from within. In fact, let me clarify, our collective synergy fuels our endeavors to make a meaningful impact. And honestly, do you catch my drift? (chuckles) So, to put it simply, we strive to give our best, my friend!

What’s your favorite song to play right now? 

FatPocket’s rendition of “That’s What I Like” by Bruno Mars is both captivating and demanding. Moreover, we often turn to live performances to master new songs as they exude more energy. Additionally, our rendition of “Finesse,” cleverly combined with Michael Jackson, Young MC, BBD, and an iconic rap from a 90s TV show, is undeniably impressive…

What’s your most memorable performance?

Five years ago, we played our first show in Vegas. It was a significant moment for us as we managed to get ten musicians on a plane to play a showcase. This experience marked the beginning of everything coming together and gelling as a cohesive unit.
