I can’t explain why but this vocal performance combined with how much love pours out of jack as he plays and collaborates just made me cry. Beautiful. Pure.
I am grinning ear to ear as I watch the pure joy and funk in the movement of these amazing artist. Yes Kenton's voice is soooooooooo smooth and it feels like he is hugging my soul with his vocals.
My favorite part of this whole thing is how they’re all feeling it. You can see they’re all vibing with each other and the vibes only get stronger and better throughout the video! ❤️

So while I have you I'll go ahead and capitalize on the opportunity, and assure you of your fantastic performance repertoire and vocal capabilities which are plainly and evidently the happy offspring of a naturally fantastic voice and very attentive, disciplined practice. I've followed your career for a few years now, and it's always been an absolute pleasure to hear your various performances because of their great synthesis of the art and the craft to the really great vocal performance. Major props, and greetings from Denmark!
Kenton just keeps getting better with time. He was good on the Sing-Off. He's turning into something epic as he continues to grow musically and vocally.
It's a fantastic run. I'm singing this song at a soul gig next week and I'm using his singing for reference, and while I can do these runs though mimic, it's nowhere near as clean as this guy, and he had to come up with them, I just have to copy it 😂
....recently discovered Kenton during some of his PMJ outings and was utterly blown away by his vocal dexterity. Im with you Kelly - MORE Kenton please !
Yes indeed! I first saw him with PMJ singing CLOSER(9"Nails version). Probably watched I 30, 40, 50 times(lost count). The young man is a triple threat: Sing, dance, most importantly, he's an entertainer!!! Can't wait to for him to cut a solo album!!!
Gosh, I just discovered him today.. I've learned a new level of how much music can affect me. My hands are shaking his music is so beautiful and moving.

Heard "Shame, shame, shame" (by Shirley & Co) yesterday on the radio yesterday fir the first time in 20 years. My immediate thought was how much I'd love to hear ScaryPockets bring their groove to it and breath new life into it. Love your work!
Why did it take me so long to realize that ecstatic joy is the appropriate mode for playing music!? So happy to be playing together..freaking Conte man.. beneficent beatitudes abound!
I still have so much fun watching this, ever and ever and ever and ever again for a couple of weeks now. Thank you so much for this powerful emotional happy performance. I am feeling so inspired!
I'm here for the drummer lol, but I loved when Jack looked for Ben in the time of the Roses (because of his name, Ben Rose). Probably I'm crazy... but ok
I discovered (learned about) Scary Pockets about two weeks ago, haven't stopped listening to them since. SO GOOD AND SO MUCH FUN! There's no song I don't like and no musician who I don't think is talented. Love it, love it, love it!

Hi Scary Pockets, Coming to you from Australia. Thank you for your uplifting music. These times are universally difficult and it feels so special to be able to just dance and listen to your music. From Ben.
You got a lot of good songs. But I keep coming back to this one. The "band in a box" factor is maximized by cramming all five of you into that tiny space. Somehow the voice and band is perfectly tight. Glorious.
Come see us July 9th in Los Angeles, CA at Grand Performances! www.grandperformances.org/events/scary-pockets
Please come to the Netherlands.
How about any performances in 2024 with Kenton?

I waited for that line after reading your comment...gat damn youre right.
Just found out that this Keyboardist in ALL these videos is the freaking CEO of Patreon. WOW!

I thought this was an inside joke until I checked today, wow
Cant get enough of his groove, best vibe ever!
he looked like Steve Jobs
Holy shit it is! Wow.
It's like the Jackson 5 and Anderson Paak jamming in Vulfpeck's living room. This is amazing.

ticfortea DAMN YES!🙌🏿
You can hear playfulness in his voice- it’s like he’s doing this so effortlessly. Beautiful cover and talent.
Kenton just keeps getting better with time. He was good on the Sing-Off. He's turning into something epic as he continues to grow musically and vocally.
Silky smooth vocals. From PMJ to here, Kenton rocks
I love how the whole band acknowledges Kenton's skills at 1:50 haha
damn!
That vocal run on "no one who tru-ly cares" was creative and SO VERY SMOOTH, I probably would have broken my face smiling too
Very cool, but it's all about note choice at 1:37 for me! :)
With every cover, Kenton gives me chills!
Great cover, and Kenton's voice, YESS!!!!
Steve Jacobs thank you!!!
she's like a cheerful girl in early 20's
Kenton's voice gives light to my inside! 😁
BEURK!!!
This Singer is The MUST!
GREAT VOICE!
1:22 "Some people need ... three dozen roo-wo-wo-wo-woohoo-se-hye-heyes"
EXACTLY! 😄
Brent Crude hahaha that’s how I feel about buying 3 dozen of anything! Lol
Hahaha! I gotta witness you order at a deli or something 😂
I was just reading this as he sang that my goodness!
@@chelseacco6 me too
Walks into bakery . . . I need three dozen do-oh-whoah-wo-wo-nehts!
I hope most people understand how difficult 1:16-1:22 it is to do that with your voice. Go Kenton. Limitless, man.
It's a fantastic run. I'm singing this song at a soul gig next week and I'm using his singing for reference, and while I can do these runs though mimic, it's nowhere near as clean as this guy, and he had to come up with them, I just have to copy it 😂
Kenton Shen, absolutely killer singer!!! Wowwww ... Goose bumps!
brrooo WHY HASN'T THIS GONE VIRAL damn. give these guys recognition. clearly feeling it out and this singer man. Give him everything.
OMG Kenton Chen is amazing! I have listened to this cover on repeat for hours.
I just discovered this the other day... I've had it on repeat for all of today and am listening even now as I type this.
Man. , I just love this . Makes this old man happy .
I thought I knew where the arrangement was headed and then-BAM!
So smooth. V nice.

Alicia would love this, so raw and funky well done :)
Bodhiboy91 omg i 100% agree!
Man, those guys love performing. Smiles all round.

and it's always a pleasure to watch you having fun 🌻
I love it when the musicians are just as entertaining as the lead singer!
jack conte (on keys) always has the best expressions. the vibemaster
An accidentally click then something beautiful happened and it made my day :)
Watching the smiles you guys give each other as he riffs the HELL outta the treble clef gives me complete joy :)
As always, Kenton blew my mind. And the chemistry between the musicians here is incredible!
Kenton and the keyboard player made me feel alive today, in the middle of this lockdown. Seems like was made to be listened now.
Kenton Chen is the vibe this world needs right now.
Sooo in love with this group
Even if we cannot have an actual look at them, I am sure Mr Wilkes is rocking the legendary slippers once again. I can feel it in the groove.
lol
Kenton you are truly a gifted vocalist.... the rest of you.... amazing....!
Mad props to all the musicians, and I love watching Sam Wilkes, but Ryan always plays exactly enough and it's so good.
These guys and Postmodern jukebox make music worth listening.
Kenton Chen is absolutely killin
What ENERGY.. just lovee
Keep coming back to one of the greatest perfs of Kenton with Scary Pockets. You guys killed it !!
Gosh, I just discovered him today.. I've learned a new level of how much music can affect me. My hands are shaking his music is so beautiful and moving.
The vocal control and acrobatics are simply off the charts
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what's within
And I've been there before, and that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young (you know)
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings

Whoa guys ... love the interpretation!!!!! The arrangement is just Awesome!
Came for the song, stayed to watch these guys have the fun of their life! Truly refreshing watching them all smiles and full passion!
I've listened to it a thousand times, and I loved it more every time. Kenton, u're pure gold.
THIS MAN AND HIS VOICE. Oh my goodness.
Kenton no one will forget your voice who listen to you once for sure. Love you all, thanks for the groove.
This was the fastest subscription in my whole life. The vibe is so addictive!
I don’t care what anyone else says this is the best If I Ain’t Got You cover!!!
Holly mother... that voice!
The energy you guys bring is just perfect!
My 8y/o adores this song(cover), calls it her favorite. She's developing good taste in music I'd say. Thanks for the cover, I love it as well.
Kenton makes it look and sound so easy.
My Mom just passed and this song is keeping me sane !!!!
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THE GOOD LORD BLESSED YOU ALL! BEST COVER EVER! THERE IS SO MUCH JOY IN THIS VIDEO! I LOVE IT!
Wow, fan-a-tastic, folks!
Thaaanks Kenton!
Everyone is talking about the pianist..am here for bass guitarist
Never knew Harry Potter got so talented as he got older.
This comment transformed you in the coolest commentor in the whole of TH-cam. Forever.
He looks like a mix between lg razz, and greg salazar
I'm here for the drummer lol, but I loved when Jack looked for Ben in the time of the Roses (because of his name, Ben Rose). Probably I'm crazy... but ok
Sam Wilkes is a great bass player, his work with Knower is some of his best.
I dig Kenton's voice, the man is as smooth as silk.
thank you!
@@KentonChen its crazy how well you sing its honestly so musically inspiring
I discovered (learned about) Scary Pockets about two weeks ago, haven't stopped listening to them since. SO GOOD AND SO MUCH FUN! There's no song I don't like and no musician who I don't think is talented. Love it, love it, love it!

This is what happens when everything just clicks, and it’s beautiful
Hi Scary Pockets,
Coming to you from Australia. Thank you for your uplifting music. These times are universally difficult and it feels so special to be able to just dance and listen to your music.
From Ben.
This singer is awesome!
Kenton Chen. :D Love it!!!
You got a lot of good songs. But I keep coming back to this one. The "band in a box" factor is maximized by cramming all five of you into that tiny space. Somehow the voice and band is perfectly tight. Glorious.
