M & E Productions presents: Willy Porter in Toronto and Montreal.
...not a prog musician but those who have seem this man play will agree he is one hell of a guitar player... Willy Porter is a seasoned solo performer who honed his songs and his chops traveling across America and Europe playing to captive audiences everywhere. His songs are equal parts muscle and intimacy, and reveal a rarely achieved relationship between an artist and his craft. Hailing from the swamps of Milwaukee, WI, he forged a connection to his fans from his earliest performing experiences that would continue to reverberate even when opening for the audiences of artists like Jethro Tull, Tori Amos and Paul Simon. On one legendary night in Nashville, in front of a room full of some of the world's best guitarists, Porter, with just his voice and an acoustic guitar, earned a standing ovation from an audience primed to see electric guitar-hero Jeff Beck. Porter has long been known for his innovative and expressive guitar playing which the press have called everything from "startling," to "dazzling" to "killer." The Boston Globe compares his playing to speed picker Leo Kottke. July 16th 08:00 - Hugh's Room in Toronto Canada. www.hughsroom.com or call(416)531-6604.
