If everything looks a little funky on our site it’s because we’re having it revamped right now, thanks to the people at 58 Graphics! They are also redesigning our log to make it more contemporary. So get ready for the new look and an easier to navigate website very soon! Thanks!
Get your LEG UP now!!
Doug James and The Pocket are pleased to announce the release of their first collection of tunes, “LEG UP.” You can get it the old-school way – at gigs (you hand us $10, we hand you the disc) – or by download here djp6.bandcamp.com now, or CD Baby, iTunes, and Amazon soon. Any way you buy it, you get a full dance card of American Hip Shakin’ Music – nine originals and two covers that stamp our own attitude on the music we love: Blues, Funk, R&B, New Orleans . . .
