Pocket Change is a San Diego based jazz fusion trio that pulls heavy influence from world beat, dance and neo-soul music. Made up of keyboardist John Hooper (Seapoodle, Kat Hall, Sensi Trails) bassist Hunter Hartmann and drummer Hunter Bragg (Peach Cooler, Seapoodle, Adana, Sensi Trails) the group has had a whirlwind of a first year as a band. They've performed at several festivals including Same Same But Different, have obtained residencies at some of San Diego's best clubs and restaurants (Sago in Encinitas, Tony's Martini Bar, Beaumont's Eatery, Wilma's and Kettner Exchange by SDCM Restaurant Group to name a few), and have established a partnership with the education program within Studio West. The group has released two EPs and is currently working on a studio album. Along with their busy gig schedule, they also have a hefty creative output on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with their series "Garage Grooves" which features artists from across San Diego showcasing original music and unique covers.
