...often akin to the broad scope of Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices. His warm, lilting voice is sometimes reminiscent of Ken Stringfellow and Jonathan Auer of The Posies and other times of Chris Isaak.
Bio / Background
"Tonight's performance is proof positive that San Francisco's live music scene is alive and well - and even more to the point, that there are still a few brilliant singer-songwriters lurking around, if you know where to look. Chris Porro is one of the city's undiscovered gems, with a richly melodic style in the tradition of the Beatles, David Bowie, Archer Prewitt, and Richard Davies. Singing dreamlike songs of love, loss, and corporate lackeydom, and backed up by P. Lenny (on trumpet), Harry Kniznik (on percussion), and Os Mutantes affiliate Alex Cotta (on bass), Porro puts on one of the most melodically and emotionally satisfying shows in town..." (Review from flavorpill SF, http://sf.flavorpill.net/mailer/issue24/index.html#porro for a tongue and groove show)
The music is modern melodic songwriting off the beaten path of mainstream pop and rock, beck-queue lyrics, references to leeches and lamprey.
