Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater
This
ain’t your run-of-the-mill blues trio. It might
even surprise you that the soulful musical texture
flowing from the stage is in fact emanating from
only three guys. And therein lies the beauty of
porterdavis. With just three musicians, a wide
variety of influences from Townes Van Zandt, to
Muddy Waters, to James Brown, and a collective
imagination that transcends their individual musical
prowess, porterdavis dishes up some truly original
roots music.
Underneath the expressive lyrics and the smooth
3-part harmonies, is a band that was founded on a
deep appreciation for the formidable musicians who
have paved the way before them. Dan Barrett delivers
the slide electric and acoustic guitar along with
the lead vocals, backed by the English Simon Wallace
on Chicago-style blues harp, and Mike Meadows rounds
it out with his unique concoction of percussion
instruments from around the world.
