Shari Puorto & The Rhythm Addicts

About Me

IT'S HERE! MY NEWEST CD. I'D LOVE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. GO TO, www.BluesRockMusic.com today!!
=================================================
================================================= BUY OUR DEBUT ALBUM HERE:
Unique powerful vocals, BIG guitar, feel-good, groove-oriented rock & roll with a full dropper of Blues coloring.
This is a band you must see live! Southern California’s contemporary Rock / Blues Band, Shari Puorto & the Rhythm Addicts attracts all ages with their high-energy, adrenaline pumpin’, grass roots style and contemporary sound. Their performances tie together what we remember from the good ole 70’s with today’s modern sense of style seemingly lost in today's live performing bands. Once you hear them, you will never forget them.
Lead vocalist, Shari Puorto (2004 Best Female Vocalist winner @ SBMA*) has been compared to such artists as, Melissa Ethridge, Janis Joplin, and Bonnie Raitt. Not only is her passion for music transparent; but she quickly forms a bond with her audience (she's likely to steal your heart if you get too close!).
The combination of Shari's powerful, sultry vocals with Jake Perry's creative hooks & leads with agressive bass backbeat and soloing makes this front-line one-of-a-kind. .
Drummer/Percussionist, Louie Broussard's deep-pocket and rhythmic sense along with bassist, David Abercrombie’s 6-string fretless unique style supports this band to a level that will keep you wanting more.
Considering that each section of this band is more than physically powerful (from vocals to bass), there is plenty of space within the band's material for intense and muscular soloing from each member.
Among many past credits, Shari Puorto has been the supporting show and has graced the stage with such bands as, Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Robin Trower, Coco Montoya, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Dave Mason, Ike Turner, Leon Russell, Eric Sardinas, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Lee Rocker, Billy Vera & the Beaters, - the list keeps growing.
From powerful and soulful vocal delivery to creative guitar hooks and leads, this combination makes them one of today's hottest, most exciting live performing bands.
