"Porch Daddies have a natural flair for songwriting, encompassing an impressive range of genres from laid-back folk-pop to complex instrumentals. Lilting harmonies blend with inventive guitar work to create a mellow, yet stimulating musical cocktail. I can see them gaining in popularity, particularly if they can maintain the quality of work I have evidenced." From: Marc Hoffman
"Hey Guys...
Love these songs...ya'll must have burned some serious doobies when you came up with these beauties! Almost like the Dead when they really started goovin' along. Very laid back. Best of luck."
from: The South of Heaven BandBand/artist history
We met in '96, and pretty much have been playing together in one form or another ever since.Have you performed in front of an audience?Very rarely in the Blue Ridge Mountains in NC.
Our live album "Milk" was musicaly a special hour in time for the porch daddies. It acoustically and vocaly rocks.
Your musical influences
Acoustic grooving folk. We listen to stuff like Grateful Dead, Michael Penn,Phish,Muddy Waters,Cactus,Garcia, Carlos Santana, Beck, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan,Tiny TimAnything else?
For you these magical waves errupt from our fingers out of sheer indifun.I never visited the mp3 sites before recording the song I wrote. I have been amazed at the number of patriotic songs that have been written. I figured there would be many written because of the WTC attack, but I was pleased to find songs like your EYE OF THE STORM that were inspired by the Gulf War.
I served 3 tours in Vietnam and then went to the Gulf War with the 82nd RDF (Rapid Deployment Force). As a veteran I want to thank you for your music and your thoughts, it really does mean lot to know people appreciate what soldiers have sacrificed. The troops in Afganistan will appreciate more songs like the ones you've already written, so I hope you can continue to find the Muse. Thanks again.All comments (2)

Hey, thanks for the good words on my message board! I know what you mean about finding "acoustic" music on the Acoustic charts - so much MIDI there...ugh. I'm enjoying your tunes now, very nice, smooth stuff BTW. I notice you're in the Blue Ridge Mtns. I live on the wet end of NC myself. Keep up the good work! kbn
