Hailing from South Florida, the band combines powerful sound elements of New Orleans Funk, Jazz-Fusion, and Afro-Latin rhythms to create a cohesive, diverse sound. Chip Gardner, Moi Linares, and Josh Walton make up the multicultural Funk-Latin-Fusion powerhouse known as POCKiT, bringing vital cultural and sonic perspectives to the group. That unique composition of talent has earned them a space in the bustling South Florida music scene.
