One of In The Pocket's numerous selling points is their superb lead vocals, backed by close-knit harmonies. The band features the lovely and exceptionally talented female vocalist, Robyn Springer, in addition to a core group of five vocalists/instrumentalists, formerly with the band "Now 'n Then", which has been together for over fifteen years and includes individual experience of more than twenty-five years each performing with such popular groups as SugarCreek, Billy Joe Royal, The Rivieras, The Tempests, and Main Event.

REFERENCES

The band’s performance was excellent! The song selection was great, and their breaks were short. The band members are not only talented singers and musicians; they have a wonderful stage presence! They had everyone dancing all night. Thank you again for your help in making our party a success! I look forward to working with you again next year.

Everyone loved the band, especially the over 50 crowd. We really wanted a band that could play for all ages, so I think they nailed it. My parents were very pleased with the music and we would recommend them to others. Let me know if anything more specific would be helpful.

Thanks for making our holiday party a blast. The band was wonderful!

We all know how funny Larry can be and the band feeds off that vibe - it works! He calls the right tunes at the right time. Plus these guys really are some killer musicians. They can play any style - heard them go from Motown to 867-5309, from We Are Family to some GREAT classic Christmas tunes. Robin is the absolute best singer and I can't think of any singer that is any better or that I'd rather listen to - the class and power of a Anita Baker, Natalie Cole to the edge of a Whitney Houston or a young Donna Summer. A beautiful voice that had the hairs on my arms standing up for the entire time I heard the band.

First let me say how impressed Jenn and I were with In the Pocket. The band and its performance was everything we had wished. Your band made our special day even more special. Jenn and I give the band an overall rating of Excellent. Everything about the band was great - professionalism, timeliness, sound, and flexibility. With regard to the flexibility aspect, Jenn and I were extremely thankful for accepting your offer and suggestion of playing outside during dinner. As you know, originally we were concerned of having the band playing from the inside while our guests were outside under the tent. Well, you guys pulled this off and we thought it started the night off perfectly and it only got better once the band moved inside. I know it's good to hear constructive criticism on how you can improve upon things but we really can't offer anything. We would definitely recommend In the Pocket to our friends and family. In fact, we have already been contacted as a reference. Good luck to the band and thanks again for being a part of our special day.
Dave and Jenn Neely
