At the age of ten, Dave Porter could be found on the floor of his bedroom, strumming an acoustic guitar to his brothers’ hand-me-down Beatles albums. He drummed in the school band, and by high school, music had fully taken hold of him. He discovered jazz and adopted the upright bass.
Soon after high school, Dave left Virginia to tour with the successful southern rock bands Doc Holliday and Rajun. After years on the road, home called, and returning to Southwest Virginia, he married and lent his musical talents to leading local bands and recording studios as a first-call bassist.
On Desire, his debut album, Dave paints sonic landscapes, reflecting the turbulent times in which he wrote the songs. Fueled by the death of his oldest brother and end of an eleven-year marriage, they weave among genres, from alt rock to power pop, revealing a surprising range of emotions, influences, and musical talents.
