"The Local Scene -- Grand Rapids, Michigan"

Caught in the Act...
...by Amy McClees
Hip Pocket (Hip meaning, well, HIP! and Pocket meaning, the musicians
have it all together, tight, they're in a pocket) played to an SRO crowd
at the Grand Rapids Festival '98, Friday night, 6/5/98. With horns a-blazin'
and walk-about musicians surrounding the crowd, it's a group that truly
caters to its audience. The debut of a couple of new tunes that they are
in the midst of recording was a nice addition to their considerable repertoire
of songs they are known for. James, the lead singer, crooned to the under-5
crowd that flocked around the snow fences seperating the crowd from the
stage. If you have a chance to see them play, request their "Steely Dan"
medley. I know of no other group who can pull off this feat to satisfaction
of a true Steely Dan fan.
