New Music to be Released

In the coming weeks we will be releasing new music from the vault of Laura Reed and Deep Pocket. These recordings were made before the band split last year and are charged with sincere emotion and energy. These recordings stand out from all other music released by the band and feature such great artists as Kofi Burbridge, Nigel Hall, and Bobby Lee Rogers. The music is getting it's finishing touches now and will be available online only, and a special mix will be sent to all those on the mailing list, so if you havn't signed up yet, you can still do so here at www.laurareed.com or at Laura's live shows. We are very excited that this music is being shared and we hope you enjoy...

New Directions

Greetings,
The members of Laura Reed & Deep Pocket would like to make a public statement to all of their fans and musical community. As of 2010 Laura Reed and Deep Pocket will no longer be performing together in their original lineup. Due to various reasons as well as obligations that were fostered while Laura was on pregnancy leave, members will be performing with and joining other musical groups and entities as themselves, not as Deep Pocket. Laura Reed will continue to perform and record, and will be collaborating with members of Deep Pocket over time. The group considers this step a fresh page, and plan to release music that they have been working on up to this point soon via download. The group sends their thanks and appreciation to those that supported them, namely Geniass Productions, Tree Sound Studios, Tree Leaf Music, and Lokk & Co, and plans to still be working within these entities to create great art and music, just in various lineups and forms unassociated with Laura Reed & Deep Pocket. The full Laura Reed & Deep Pocket lineup does not have any future plans to perform together at the moment; however friendship still presides over the group and this separation is not one of disdain but rather of embarking in different directions -musically, professionally, and as individuals.



Message from Laura:

We appreciate the support of everyone, and hope you will continue to enjoy the music that we brought to you as Laura Reed & Deep Pocket. We apologize for the bad news, but promise to keep an open mind about future collaborations and sharing of the music that we have recorded and created together. We have the utmost respect for each other as artists and people and will continue to do so. I believe there were just different circumstances that hindered us from being on the same page professionally, personally, and musically. This is not an end, just a different direction. I personally look forward to performing again, rejoining the musical community, and making music again with my good friends from Deep Pocket as well as our broad musical family. Thank you all!
