Grand Analog gave one of my favourite performances from Riverfest Elora 2016 (those pics are here), so when I saw their singer take to the stage to introduce Pocket Dwellers, I had a good feeling I was in for a great show.

Pocket Dwellers are a big band that delivers hip-hop with all that other stuff in there, too. There's funk, reggae, pop, rock, jazz, soul and so much more. The band has talent, groove, passion, melody and energy all wrapped up and given with love.

And when I started editing the pics, way too long after the show, I was transported back to the Koop tent, watching the band and listening to "Lifecheck". The refrain of "Lifecheck! Are you alive out there? All alive people put your hands in the air..." echoing through my head.

If you get the chance. See these guys. It'll lift you up.

Now listen, if you please:

"Life Check"

"Concept"

"Stop"

"Shine"
