About
Brass In Pocket
America's Pretenders Tribute Band
Brass In Pocket - America’s Pretenders Tribute Band is based in Austin, TX. It’s a tribute to Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders, one of the greatest bands in rock history.
Formed in 2017, Brass In Pocket has dedicated itself to faithfully recreating the energy, sound, and look of Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. The band has performed at numerous venues across Texas, including The Haute Spot (Cedar Park TX), Sam's Burger Joint Music Hall (San Antonio), The Highball (Austin), Sundown at Grenada (The Grenada Theater, Dallas TX), and The Uptown Theatre (Marble Falls).
After a two-year hiatus, the band regrouped in late 2023 with a new lineup: singer-guitarist Shelli Miller as Chrissie Hynde; returning guitarist Heath Allyn (Yacht Z, The Eggmen), bandleader David Houston (The Eggmen, Yacht Z, Mock Lobster) on drums, and Chris Nine (Schatzi, Yacht Z, Tender Wolf) on bass.
