Miguel Calo Sus Exitos Con Raul Iriarte CD

KEEPING THE FAITH:Underneath the feel-good grooves, the expressive and honest lyrics, and the smooth 3-part harmonies, their music is founded on a deep appreciation for their musical roots. Before every performance, Dan, Mike, and Simon will toast to the show, and pour a sip on the floor in reverence to the musical heroes who have come before them. Ray Charles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Elvin Jones, Miles Davis, Townes Van Zandt, Muddy Waters, and Little Walter are all among the names honored each time the guys take the stage. This is a tradition Dan and Mike picked up during their studies in Ghana, West Africa in 2004. Chances are you will be gripped by Mike's innovative and unique choice of percussion instruments. Staying true to his beliefs, he draws the instruments, rhythms, and techniques entirely from their Brazilian and African roots. UNDERGROUND ROOTS:After studies at Berklee College of Music, Dan and Mike got their start, and the name of the band, in Boston, MA by busking in the Porter Square and Davis Square subway stations. It wasn't long before they worked their way up out of the subway and into one of Boston's premier listening rooms, the Lizard Lounge. Sell-out shows quickly followed.

BLOWING IN FROM ENGLAND:Simon joined the band after Dan and Mike had moved their home base to Austin, TX in 2004. He hails from the United Kingdom where he spent his formative years playing blues harmonica - landing the National Blues Harmonica Title at the age of 17. Simon solidified the roots/ blues sound of porterdavis, by adding a third harmony and of course the evocative sound of the harp.
