Beyond the Game with Dennis Schocket

Written By Morgan Knox

Beyond the Game is a look at former athletes who’ve taken the skills, discipline, and drive from their playing days and turned them into winning careers and businesses off the field. These stories show how the hustle doesn’t stop when the game ends—it just takes on a new form.

Dennis Schocket is a well known musician not only in the county he grew up in, but internationally. He reflects on how his time in sports helped him prepare for his career today.

Schocket attended North Harford High School and was a three sport athlete. After graduating, he quickly discovered that music was going to be in his life, but at what capacity? He began working and playing music on the side when eventually, music became his full time job. He currently has a few bands, including Star Belly, who just got back in a tour from Ireland.
