Rising
up from the subway and their previous band the Daniel Barrett Group,
Mike Meadows and Daniel Barrett have been reborn as the band PorterDavis. Their evolution to PorterDavis holds great significance for both of them, speaking for their equal and combined contribution to the band. The
name also gives a nod to the Porter and Davis Square subway stations
where they spent dedicated mornings playing to commuters, connecting
with listeners, making friends, and honing their craft.
Inspired by the earthy sound of roots music combined with the urban edge that
comes with doing time in the big city, the PorterDavis sound is rhythmic and
rich, innovative yet familiar. During the summer of 2002 they opened
East Coast dates for Melissa Ethridge. With the recent addition of British
Harmonica Champion, Simon. Their live performances are comfortable and inclusive,
like sitting down in a warm bar, ordering a pint and talking with old friends
into the night.
