Vote 4 Pedro

Vote for Pedro can be summed up easily in two words: EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS. While most local musicians were cutting their teeth in the garage or playing basement-bar local gigs, the members of Vote for Pedro were touring regionally and nationally in support of their respective releases. The band features former Lost Parade and Soul Kiss member Jeff Faulkner (guitar, vox); former Die Symphony and Lost Parade drummer Jamie Perryman; and former Missile Silo Suite bassist Chris Boslett. Mix in Eric Wulff (Area 51, My 2 Planets) on vocals and Joshua Hamer (Johnny Action Figure) on keyboards, guitar and vocals, and you get one of the best and most respected bands in the St. Louis area. While other cover bands stick to one genre, Vote for Pedro covers the whole spectrum of popular music. Their set list runs the gamut from modern rock bands like The Killers, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Jet, to classic rock by bands like Queen, Cheap Trick, AC/DC, and Tom Petty. And of course there’s plenty of dance tunes to move to by the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, Blondie, the B-52s, INXS and more.

WE’RE SORRY, THE SEPTEMBER 14 Parties in the Park HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN
FatPocket began in August of 2004 as a six piece band set out to change the world. Our main goal was to play music we thought people would like and make some pocket change along the way.

We started with Ryan Murry (bass guitar), Adam Reynalds (drums), Mike Curtis (guitar) and myself, JayBird (saxophone and vocals) then began construction from there. We added Jeff Simpher (Trumpet), Chris Willson (Bari Sax, and Tambourine Master), David Wynton(Trombone), Robert James Johnson II (Keys, TalkBox, and anything he can get his hands on) plus a super strong vocalist to do nothing but sang his a$$ off. He goes by the name of Eric Williams but we like to call him, E weezy AKA THE SHOW.

Now that we have our singer and full 9 piece band we have never looked back. And so, the birth of a revolution - St. Louis' Premier Funk Band, the one, the only, FATPOCKET!!! Keep on Funkin'!!!
