What a treat to have Willy Porter play a special after season show in May! Willy Porter's return engagement to the Blue Moon Coffeehouse is much anticipated and audiences are impatiently waiting to hear and see him again! After in incredible return to Blue Moon in May '09, we decided to bring Willy back along with his band. Willy Porter is fast becoming our favorite rite of spring!
The pure joy that Willy puts into a performance is so infectious that a Porter concert becomes both humorous and graceful. He is totally fearless on stage. Sometimes he invites the audience to write a song with him. A consummate boundary straddler, Porter's originals display a range of tasty influences. Some of his songs are built on the swivel-hips of old-school funk and rock; some on complex new acoustic instrumentals, while others seem more rooted in the tradition of the singer-songwriter. Placing his disparate loves in the blender of his imagination, he dreams up a unique brand of acoustic pop drenched in an upbeat, thoughtful energy. Willy's guitar style, while influenced by Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke, is rife with his own sense of percussive accentuation. Willy is touring in support of his latest CD, How to Rob a Bank. Willy delivers a show of unparalleled musicianship and warmth...don't miss this special after the season show with Willy Porter! Willy's website is found at: www.willyporter.com
