Willy Porter, Steve Pledger

Wisconsin native Willy Porter is a guitar virtuoso with an insinuating voice that sneaks past your defenses and gets under your skin. The Washington Post has called him "a dazzling acoustic guitarist with a moody baritone," while Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull said of him: "Willy Porter's music demonstrates admirably that the technical excellence of his guitar-playing will never overwhelm the essence of the song itself. In perfect symbiosis, the disciplines of performance & songwriting combine together to create the unique work for which he is admired by professional peers & audiences alike. Oh, and a damn fine singer too. Thank goodness he doesn't play the flute."

He has toured with Tori Amos, Paul Simon, &, in Autumn 2013 & February 2014, with Martyn Joseph. His performances went down a storm every night with audiences all asking the same question..."When is he coming back?"...... And now he is!
