?This is a good one, if you?re inclined to shake it,? announces Dan Barrett, as he starts the intro to Penny Candy, one of porterdavis? irresistibly danceable tunes.
Underneath the feel-good grooves, the expressive and honest lyrics, and the smooth 3-part harmonies, porterdavis is founded on a deep appreciation for their musical roots. The band got their start, and the name of the band, in Boston, MA by busking in the Porter Square and Davis Square subway stations.
In October 2005, after moving their homebase to Austin, TX, porterdavis released their debut full-length album ?15 Hours Unravelling,? reaching #10 on Waterloo Records? national sales chart, and #2 in Texas Sales. Coupled with live on-air performances and album airplay on local radio favorites KUT and KGSR, porterdavis found a home in the busy landscape of the Austin music scene.
The porterdavis experience is roots music from the heart, aimed to move the body and soothe the spirit. Like your favorite watering hole, and your favorite bbq, porterdavis is the place you?ll go to get it simple, raw, and feeling alright.
