Willy Porter


For about 10 years now, one of my favorite musicians has been Willy Porter. He is an indie artist you probably have not heard too much of because he doesn't exactly fit the tight square box of national radio.

Willy's musicianship and charisma is off the chart. He has unbelievable guitar skills, a vocal that soars with soul, deep grooves, and an amazing live show with just himself and a guitar that will leave you wanting more.

Here are some youtube videos of a couple of my favorites songs from him. On the first one the audio is not that great on his vocal, but the guitar playing alone is something you don't want to miss.





Here are the records to get:

High Wire Live - Amazon MP3 or Willy Porter - High Wire Live


Falling Forward - Amazon MP3 or Willy Porter - Falling Forward

If you want to hear Willy Porter a bit more raw you can go here and download some tracks for free from his live show. Scroll down to the bottom.
