BAND HISTORY
Gary Porter played at the packed 20,000 strong crowed at the Oswestry Music Festival in Shropshire which was broadcast live on the BBC. Gary has been writing his own material for 10 years and his music has grown from strength to strength incorporating a wide and diverse range of musical influences. Gary formally fronted the band Crisis Days and wrote and produced the material for the album Common Denominator.(mastered by Deborah Bonham's studio in London).. Over recent years Gary and the band moved beyond the UK shores to play and record throughout Europe. This has included sessions in Ireland, Malta, Spain, Greece and Canada
Gary decided to take a year off to write some new material ,making a point of watching some of the worlds top artists and bands..(something that you don't always have time for when your playing),with a view to putting a band together capable of playing any venue or stadium in the world, crossing the boundaries of playing in one particular genre...
Gary asked session guy's AL Vosper (Joe Cocker,Paul Young, Beverly Knight,Chris de Burgh) on lead guitar and the prolific jazz drummer Mark Cecil to help him try out some of the new material upon his return whilst searching for members to form the new band "Porter"..
The search was completed at the begining of 2007 featuring Andrew Keil (drums and percussion), Geoff Conway (bass guitar),Dave Melling (keyboards,sax and trumpet), Dave Sage (lead guitar) and Gary Porter (vocals,guitar)...
The new 10 track album "Straight Line" is now available on the KDM label and on I-tunes www.itunes.com/porter/straightline
