Although members of the Los Angeles-based groovy outfit Scary Pockets change regularly, there’s one thing it always makes sure to deliver: the funk. The band is known for its dynamic, “Glee”-like covers that are released on its YouTube channel each week—which range from classics like Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” and the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” to newer, Top 40 pop songs.

The band recently announced that it’s pivoting to original music and slowing down the releases of its beloved covers, so Tampa Bay’s Scary Pockets fans may get a little taste of something new at Jannus Live. “While we work diligently on crafting our original music, we’re also spicing things up on our Patreon page,” the band writes on social media. “Get ready for fresh perks, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and more fun ways to keep us in your pocket.”

Tickets to see Scary Pockets and David Ryan Harris play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Saturday, Oct. 14 are still available and cost $22.50.
