Bios
PorkBelly Futures takes, writers, rockers, classical musicians and does the only logical thing. It creates a sort of alt / country, blues band.
The Porkers reunite the singer/song-writing team of Paul Quarrington and Martin Worthy, whose 1980 album produced by John Capek and engineered by Daniel Lanois yielded the #1 hit single Baby and the Blues.
Quarrington is one of Canada’s best-known literary figures, having won awards for his novels, TV scripts, screenplays and songwriting.
Completing the exciting new PorkBelly Futures band are some of Canada’s busiest musicians. Stuart Laughton substituted his classical trumpet for guitar/harmonica, vocalist extraordinaire Rebecca Campbell adds her deft song stylings, ace bassist Chas Elliott continues to do what he does best, thus completing one of Canada’s hottest new bands.
IN SHORT
Porkbelly Futures gives audiences a unique blend of roots-influenced country/blues music. Original material, strong musicianship and vocals, adventurous songwriting, great licks and a sense of humour.
