About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Dark purple guitar

Ken Tucker has 27 years experience as a guitarist, songwriter, and performer. He has played for several groups over the years including, Secret Service, The Passion, Moreover's New Trick, and most noteably, Christian Music Legend, Larry Norman. Josh Hammond is a harmonica playing and guitar picking force of nature. In spite of their diverse musical upbringings, they compliment each other amazingly well. Ken's gravelly, baritone voice is a perfect blend for Josh's high tenor harmonies. They have been getting lots of airplay in the US and overseas. If blues, gospel, folk, americana, and old school country is your forte', then you will find a musical friend in BackPorch Pilgrims. Check 'em out. Go ahead... you know you want to.
