The Empty Pockets Holiday Tour

The Empty Pockets Holiday Tour brings the Chicago band’s harmony-driven roots rock sound to the season with a festive mix of fan favorites, stories from the road, and holiday songs. They craft a soulful mix of rootsy blues, classic rock, and Midwestern folk, anchored by powerful vocals and sharp, heartfelt songwriting. Their skills have been honed on the road backing legends like Al Stewart, Gary Wright, Simon Kirke, and Kenny Loggins, and their own albums have earned two #1 spots on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

Affectionately known as the “baseball band,” The Empty Pockets are just as at home on a festival stage as they are singing the national anthem or leading a 7th inning stretch at Major and Minor League Baseball stadiums across the country, winning over fans one city at a time.

This holiday season, they bring their Holiday Tour to Caffè Lena. You’ll hear festive favorites like “Let It Snow” and “Run Run Rudolph” reimagined with blues-rock grit, alongside the band’s own joyful originals, including “Snow Day” and “Party at the North Pole.” Blending holiday cheer with songs from their chart-topping blues albums, The Empty Pockets deliver a warm, soulful, high-energy holiday concert built around real instruments, rich harmonies, and joyful connection.
