"Featherpocket inspired the youngsters grouped in front of the stage to hop and bound in a pattern of movement that would result in a faceplant (and possibly blood), were a Yankee like me to attempt it. The strings – two guitars of varying voltage, and one bass – came together like the perfect sandwich, ingredients in perfect harmony. Featherpocket creates the sound of the mountains, towering rocks populated by trees, visited freely by breeze. See them if you can; they’ll make you feel at home."

WHY CALL THE BAND FEATHERPOCKET?
Lead singer and guitarist Jason Cline had an epiphany when he was living in Portland, Oregon. As he walked from to St. John's Bridge from his house, Cline found a number of feathers. Thinking nothing of it, he picked them up and put them in....the front pocket of his shirt. The next night, - still wearing the same shirt with the same feathers from the day before - Cline was attending a local show. A friend was talking outside, "I'm gonna put microphone in my banjo and rap into it. I'm gonna be Banjomouth." Cline looked down at the feathers in his pocket and replied, "yeah, and I'll be Featherpocket." |
Featherpocket Stringband
The Featherpocket Stringband features reimagined bluegrass versions of Featherpocket songs. Fiddle, mandolin, blazing tempos and hot licks are mainstays of a stringband show. Featherpocket began as a bluegrass project, and with this iteration we are returning to our roots.
