About the Artist

Taddy Porter is an eclectic mix of four Southern boys from Oklahoma who grew up on a steady diet of classic rock and blues. Fueled by the powers of Hendrix, Zepplin, Muddy Waters and numerous others the four members of Taddy blend the classic styles of their youth with the sounds of their latter years. Taddy began by meshing howling vocals and brawny beats to create a foundation for their sound. With the addition of ominous guitar riffs and toe tapping bass grooves they have grown to produce a nostalgic sound while keeping current with a modern look and feel. Tulsa Urban Weekly describes the boy's music as " good old-fashioned, amps-on-11, tap-yer-foot-and-buy-another-beer rock'n'roll with Stillwater-based quartet, Taddy Porter." Taddy Porter's in your face sound was first started when Andy Brewer and Doug Jones ran into each other on a fateful day in early 2007. Jones had been drumming in numerous bands and Brewer had a guitar in tow as the two met late one night. After jamming for several hours the two decided to start what would become the epic sound that has molded out of the foursome to date. The two found Joe Selby, a talented guitar instructor who just happened to be in the market for band with a soulful southern rock sound. With three out of the four formed, the band turned to Doug's brother, Kevin to provide the bass grooves. Now that the band is in full swing they have been churning out tunes and chugging through the nation. Drawing influences from the likes of The Black Keys and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club the boys sound has come full circle in raw emotion and power.
