Spend an evening with Willy Porter, and you'll experience a rare communion between artist and audience. His concerts are one-of-a-kind events in which amazing guitar chops and hip songwriting merge into a single unit. Porter's acoustic guitar skills have drawn comparisons with those of Leo Kottke, who drew the young Porter into music the first time he heard the "6 & 12 String Guitar" album. He continues to stretch each show by incorporating performance art, live audio looping, and improvisational sketch comedy. Each tour date becomes a unique event, a musical experience much greater than just a review of past, present and future recorded work. We haven't heard Willy's solo show for a few years here at The Ark, so come and check out what he's been up to! Massachusetts songwriter, pianist, and Hammond organist Seth Glier opens the concert.
