Al Stewart & the Empty Pockets Live is the culmination of years touring and making music together. Al, along with guitarist Josh Solomon, keyboardist Erika Brett, bassist Nate Bellon, and drummer Adam Balasco have developed a rare and unspoken musical connection that pairs with Al Stewart’s legendary catalog of masterpieces in the most satisfying way. Special guests include Peter White on nylon guitar, Elliot Scozzaro on sax and flute, Chase Huna on sax and Marc Macisso on harmonica. Focus track, “Time Passages,” featuring Peter White is arguably Al’s most recognizable song, this definitive live version of “Time Passages” features longtime bandmate and cowriter, Peter White, on his signature nylon string guitar. The energy of the band and the audience is palpable as the track drives forward with expert musicianship and inspired solos.
