Anyone who has ever picked up a guitar and been humbled by its complexity or marveled at its potential will appreciate the experience of seeing Willy Porter perform live. Though he’s shared stages with music icons Paul Simon, Sting, Jeff Beck, Ian Anderson, and Tori Amos, he particularly excels in intimate settings such as the Opera House, where his extraordinary capabilities as a guitarist and vocalist truly shine.
His fresh cross-pollination of styles, genres and musical forms range from Woody Guthrie lyrically, to Michael Hedges and Radio Head stylistically. Fingers blazing across a fret board saddled with partial capos, odd tunings merging with soul-soaked vocals are the combinations of Willy Porter’s world of sound where audiences orbit in awe.
“Thank God he doesn’t play the flute!” – Ian Anderson
“[Willy Porter] can captivate an audience as completely as can an entire rock band.” – Washington Times
