TINY POCKETS started in the summer of 2023. Ken, the guitarist and bassist, hired some friends for what was supposed to be a one-off gig. That one gig turned quickly into a dedicated band, playing as often as possible everywhere they could in Colorado. They are known for their huge variety of styles and artists, and their infectious energy that gets crowds up and dancing every time. They play covers like Whitney Houston, Taylor Swift, AC/DC, Tim McGraw, The Cranberries, Shaggy, and many more. Tiny Pockets strives to play as many genres as possible so everyone has something they can sing along to – a “pocket” for everyone. anywhere. The name “Tiny Pockets” is both a nod to their goal of the variety in music, and the only thing the whole band could agree on.
Hailing from The Bronx, NY, Ken works full time as a music teacher at the Colorado Music Institute in Denver.
Originally from New Jersey, Arissa plays keyboard, ukulele and saxophone, and is a full time music teacher at Colorado Music Institute.
Born in Boston, Matt plays drums and is the band’s videographer. He works in marketing.
Native to Colorado, Jeannie is the vocalist of the band and is a theatrical engineer at the Pikes Peak Center.
All four members are long-time musicians who have played in bands before and grew up making music – but all have said that Tiny Pockets is something special. They are deeply grateful for the support of their family and partners, and all would like to send love to their dogs.
