Over the last decade, the music industry has evolved to reflect a
changing economic landscape, constantly evolving technology
and a shift in societal consciousness that continues to challenge
the artistic community.
Artists must strive to remain close to the source of their
inspiration, to maintain the integrity of their vision while reaching
audiences at an emotional and intellectual level.
In the midst of this landscape, three individuals from varied but
similar musical backgrounds seized the opportunity to collectively
explore what it means to be a songwriter, recording artist and a
live performer. What began as friendship, translated into a
musical bond that resulted in a focused commitment to original
music.
The Night Porters are musical journeymen, performing veterans,
composers and improvisers, drawing from a lifetime of influences
ranging from Pop, R&B, Jazz, Brazilian and African music.
As comfortable with Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder as they are
with John Coltrane and Herbie Hancock, The Night Porters’ music
combines soaring melody, thought-provoking lyrics, jazz harmony
and arrangements reminiscent of the beloved and timeless
classics of the genre. Encapsulated in all of these elements, is a
robust and overflowing spirit of emotion that is captured in each
of the 10 original songs.
With the exceptional ability to re-create this live, The Night Porters
offer audiences a treat for the senses, with music that is original
and new but rooted in their fondest tastes and memories. Each
song takes the listener to a different place, places which they will
be inclined to return to often.
With years of live performing experience behind them, The Night
Porters will delight audiences and be an exceptional contributor
to the success of any show, festival or venue. A tall order indeed,
one that requires passion, a commitment to artistry and the
ability and desire to entertain at the highest level. That is our
promise.
