From: James Lazzarotti Date: Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 11:34 AM Subject: Re: Lucky Pocket To: Mike @ Sam Hill Entertainment Hi Mike, Lucky Pocket was unbelievable! We couldn't be happier with how everything went and would book them 1,000 times over. Nathan was very friendly, responsive, and receptive during the communications leading up to the event. The band was very professional and sounded great, but at the same time were also very fun, interactive, and great at reading the crowd. Everyone at the wedding loved them, and the dance floor was full the entire reception. Further, we had them learn a somewhat random song for our first dance, and they knocked it out of the park. We were very impressed. Additionally, our experience with Sam Hill Entertainment was also great. Communication, booking, and payment were very easy and left us worry-free for our wedding day. We feel very fortunate to stumbled into this experience through Sam Hill being the preferred vendor at our venue. We will 100% be recommending both Lucky Pocket and Sam Hill Entertainment to any we know looking to book a live band for their event/wedding. Thanks and best regards, James and Maggie Lazzarotti

Everyone LOVED them. Each of them are terrific musicians, and as a band, they are great at reading the room and engaging with the crowd. Hiring a band sight-unseen is a bit nerve-wracking, especially when the bride and groom have told you that the band is the most important thing to them! Even with promotional videos, you never really know if what you're seeing is recent/real/authentic and really representational of what you will actually get. Well I have to say that Lucky Pocket is EVEN BETTER than what we bargained for. And to be honest, you should be charging more for them. We are CRAZY about these guys and hope our other daughter gets married soon so we can hire them again. 😎 THEY ARE THE BEST! Please pass along our gratitude to them. They helped create a night that we will always remember with joy and spirit! Best, Shannon

From: Claire Howard Date: Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 9:59 AM Subject: Re: Lucky Pocket To: Mike Miglino Hello, I am so happy we went with Lucky Pocket - they were professional, talented and brought the party. With everything going on during a wedding day, the ideal wedding vendor is one you don't have to worry about and Nathan and the rest of Lucky Pocket were exactly that. They were flexible - accommodating both a request to let my six year old nephew introduce me and my husband, and also let my husband perform a song with his groomsmen. They were also extremely patient with some things that came up during the wedding which I am so grateful for. I would definitely recommend them - and I think everyone who attended our wedding would as well. In addition to all these things, and maybe most importantly they were so so fun and talented and kept the energy up and party going! THANK YOU Claire

I cried during the last song because I didn’t want it to be over, so Nathan played one more song. We hope they had as great of a time as we did! We will happily share a review on the knot— any friends who are getting married coming up we will absolutely refer Lucky Pockets too. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Whitney and Kurt Linkenauger

Our time line got delayed slightly and they were on top of it and made everything run smoothly. I really wanted to send my gratitude to them for not taking a break since the dance floor time was shorter than anticipated. They had everyone dancing and knew exactly what music to play to keep the party going and the energy lively. They made the wedding reception perfect and our guests LOVED them... some family members were talking about hiring them for an event over Christmas! Seriously we cannot be happier. If there are any other places other than the Knot that you would like for us to leave a review please let me know.

That’s all we could talk about the next day!! I had so many people tell me how much they loved the band, and everyone was on their feet all night. The band was super interactive getting out on the floor with us, and also flexible when some speeches went extra long and we had to rearrange the schedule of the night a little bit on the fly. We've had a lot of friends get married in the Raleigh area recently who have spent so much money on bands and ended up with lackluster reviews. People were blown away when they found out what we paid— best deal ever on a wedding band! I'm sure you get a lot of great reviews because everyone gets drunk and ends up having a good time regardless of the actual quality of the band, but I will tell you I did not have a single drink all night, so I feel like a very objective reviewer, and they were amazing. I would recommend to absolutely everyone!!! Thank you again, Lindsay
Gigmasters review Wednesday Sept 24th Corporate Party: Empty Pocket was by far the best band we have ever booked for this event. We do a survey at the end of our conference and the most left comment was "we loved the band". All the band members were very professional and extremely talented.

We would totally recommend Empty Pocket as well as Sam Hill to friends and family :) Thank you all for making our wedding unforgettable! I hope you enjoyed the wedding as much as we did. All the best, Sheena

I just wanted to say that one main thing besides the great music was the band's willingness to step in when the ceremony musicians were late and we SO appreciate that. Your team was ready to go and it was AMAZING! Thank you! We made sure the bride and groom knew this too. The guys kept the guests dancing away so much we couldn't get them to leave HA! Thank you again! I would certainly recommend this band in the future. Stephanie Cisko Owner, Lead Planner and Designer Viva L'Event NC

We will definitely recommend them in the future and would use them again in the future if the need arises (but I hope it doesn't......hahaha). Thanks for all you did as well. You were a pleasure to work with and kept us well informed. Best regards, Jim Barrus

I just wanted to give a big thank you on behalf of me and Amy from our wedding a few weeks ago. You were rockin' and all of our friends and family members had a great time. We had multiple people tell us we set the wedding bar high for any subsequent weddings. I think you guys had a little something to do with that :). Most importantly, we had a great time. We loved the music and we danced our asses off. One friend told me you guys were the best wedding band he's ever seen. I share that opinion. Good luck going forward! Thanks again for being awesome! Sincerely, Bryan (& Amy)

From: Eric Nolley Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 8:39 PM To: Andy Jaspen @ Sam Hill Entertainment Subject: Re: Empty Pocket band follow up Andy, Empty Pocket was absolutely fantastic! Adam was easy to work with and they did a great job with the first dance and father daughter dance songs (they already knew "I Don't Need No Doctor" but changed the song structure at our request, and learned Butterfly Kisses). Other than those first two songs, we didn't really have any requests and left it up to the band and they totally delivered. The dance floor was packed the entire night, their musicianship was impressive (fellow musicians among our guests had great things to say), and melodies/mixes of multiple songs they did were awesome! Our guests raved about how great the band was and Kristin and I couldn't have been happier. We hope the guys of Empty Pocket had as much fun during their first time on Bald Head as we and our guests did. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone, and hope that they are playing at any weddings or events we attend in the future! Cheers, Eric and Kristin

To: Adam Moses Adam, Annika and I would just like to thank you and Empty Pocket for such a great performance at our wedding on August 3rd. We just got back from our honeymoon, but we wanted to take time to express our deepest gratitude. You guys gave an amazing performance. Your energy was great and everyone had a great time because of it. All of the songs were perfect. And we loved your versions of Marry Me and Country Roads. It was also nice to buy all of you a drink in the Casino after the performance and get to know you all personally. Really, it was the best day of our lives and the five of you where a big part of that. Thank you again, and best wishes for the future. Sean and Annika McKillop

-----Original Message----- From: Brent Becker Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 1:10 PM To: Erin Albright Subject: RE: Empty Pocket Hi Mike, Thanks for the well wishes - everything went great! As far as the band goes: Empty Pocket was flat out awesome. Very tight, very professional (without being stuffy) and superb musicianship. I Particularly dug the guitarist's pedal use to recreate keyboard/sample-type effects. Impressive fretwork too - some of those solos were ripping! Nathan's vocals were spot-on and Adam/Brian grooved in the pocket quite nicely. We loved the first dance cover (Zep's "Thank You") - we got quite a few compliments from guests on both the song choice and its execution. Overall, we were very pleased we decided to get those guys up here to play. Empty pocket does a great job of recreating the vibe of the original covers, while injecting some rock grit. They nailed the more hip hop-inspired tunes as well - exactly what we were looking for! Got great feedback from all the guests, including our hipster/musician friends that love to hate on everything. Heard nothing but glowing praises. We know it was a hell of a long day for them to come all the way to MD, but it did not show at all in their performance. Thanks to you and Sam Hill for making it happen - we think you have a winner in Empty Pocket! Brent & Erin

They were incredible! We and our guests had such a blast dancing along to them and really couldn't ask for anything more. They 100% helped present the fun, party attitude that we wanted to portray to our guests (the last thing we wanted was a stuffy wedding). Even the event staff at Vic's on the River kept asking us how we found them and gave them praise on how great they were. To say that my and Kevin's feet hurt (and I was wearing flats) after the wedding from dancing all night would be an understatement, they were sore for days. I personally can say that I had a wonderful experience working with you guys and when my clients ask for band referrals, I have already started pointing them in your direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys at Sam Hill Entertainment rock (sorry for the cheesy pun) and we will always remember and cherish how awesome our band was at our wedding reception. I hope all is well with you and that you are looking forward to the holidays! Sincerely, Lauren Drummond
