Guitarist Willy Porter to perform live at O-pa

Live Music

What’s Happening?

Equally accomplished as a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, Porter’s songs weave a universal perspective about the questions, struggles, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar driven events – equal parts grit, soul, and muscle – that are electrifying, dynamic, and wholly original in the way that Porter’s voice blends and fuses with his virtuoso fret work. A largely self-taught musician, Porter began treating audiences to his brand of guitar playing and wry storytelling in the late ‘80’s while living in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1990, he released his first full-length independent album, The Trees Have Soul, and the touring life has flowed steadily ever since.
