WHAT IS THE HARMONICA POCKET?
The Harmonica Pocket is all about intelligent, indie pop songs for people who like their music outside-the-box.
At the core of the Harmonica Pocket are the mature, swinging tunes of Keeth Monta Apgar (acoustic wah-wah guitar, harmonica, words) whose thick jazz chord progressions and unpredictable changes offer a refreshing twist on today's commercial pop music.
Both live and in the studio, the Harmonica Pocket is made up of a rotating caste of musicians including Lorne Watson (half drum kit / half congas & percussion), Jon Ryser (alto saxophone), Nala Walla (vocal harmony), as well as many other untraditional sounds. The Harmonica Pocket's 2005 release is a collaboration between 25 different musicians and a handful of visual artists.
A LILL BIT ABOUT "BIRDS FALLING FROM THE SKY"
"Birds Falling from the Sky" is an 18 track concept album by Seattle performance and recording project The Harmonica Pocket. Released in August 2005, the record is an eclectic, unpredicable tally of genre-crossing tunes.
From the experimental opening soundscape "Last night i saw" into "Earth over air" a folk-reggae track spliced with voicemail excerpts; OR from the lo-fi record player blues on "Bag of never" to the beatlesque epic pop song "The stars are all out" -- song after song after song the Harmonica Pocket consistently takes musical risks and effortlessly colors outside the lines of commerical music.

A lot of great songs, a lot of heart AND soul...
author: Danielle
This is one of the few albums I own where I enjoy every song on it, and for 18 songs, that is truly remarkable. Each one is different, but there's something that ties the whole album together. There's a lot of heart to it, I always feel just a little better after a listen. They are very talented musicians. It's become one of my favs in my collection.

this one won't leave your lineup
author: Scott
This albums is like a bag full of birthday presents that you never get tired of playing with. the lyrics and rhythms are light and airy the first few times you hear it, but on subsequent listenings, deeper layers of each unfold. Don't know how he does it, but these tunes get better and better everytime i hear them. this is a MUST HAVE.

positive surprise
author: odd awe
This CD is a shuttle that weaves generations of experience together.
Each seperate song is a coherent short story which together combine into an entire lyrical novel. One that can be read from the lyrics just as the poetry it is, or can be listened to as it opens doors in your imagination that reaveal your own myths. Would Van Gogh (or Picasso) have made music like this if they hadn't reflected their discoveries visually? Don't overlook this opportunity to discover genius. Get this CD and wake yourself up.

This Record Made My Damn Day!
author: Professor Foolery
Keeth with the Teeth and friends continue to build beautiful records. With a new take on the magic of musical production, the Pocket has released the best to date. Caramel melodies fit for an evening by the ocean sippin' whiskey from a flask in front of the fire. Makes an old friend proud. If you have the ability to appreciate true feelings somehow captured on a recording device than you should own this album. If you want pre-packaged crap... well move along down the road. This shit is real. Thanks for my new favorite record my man.
