porterdavis back on the rug. Wow. Simply incredible.

Be sure and take a moment to check out the videos from the evening on the main page here at the Piney Woods Performances blog.

Below - Simon Wallace on the harmonica. If Simon blowing on the bass harp doesn't get you grooving in some fashion, I recommend you see your general practitioner to find out what's wrong. (Check this out -- "Janey")Below - The evening wouldn't be complete without backing vocals on "Smack you Back" by Kenny Pipes. Smash the mailbox again... Apart from being one really nice guy, Kenny is the man behind the Almost Austin house concert in Pasadena, Texas. Be sure and check out the great artists he presents there. And his pot-luck dinner generally puts ours to shame!

The next three photos below - Many thanks to Ashlee Newman Photography for capturing the moment from the back of the rug. As you can see, everyone in attendance certainly enjoyed a wonderful evening of music. You can tell that goes for the musicians as well as the audience.




Below - Mike Meadows on the spoons. Mike is an amazing percussionist. He borrowed my djembe and Katren remarked "I didn't know that thing could sound like that!" (So I'm not a great djembe-ist...) Check this out to see for yourself -- "Sunshine"

Wow. What an incredible performance.

Mike, Dan & Simon (left to right) are three extremely talented individuals. If porterdavis is ever playing anywhere near you, make sure you go see them. They are freaking fantastic live. And they're nice people to boot.

above - Dan treats the audience to "Carter's Tune" from the 2001 Lovebang Records release, Daniel Barrett - Shadows.

Thankfully he told the backstory after he finished the song...

below - Mike plays an assortment of percussion instruments, uniquely and exceptionally.

porterdavis trivia - Mike's favorite cd at the time of their PWP show - "Transatlanticism" by Death Cab for Cutie

below - Simon on the harmonicas. Yes, at times he plays two at a time. The man takes playing the harmonica to a whole other level.

above - A typcial moment of jam. I wish you could hear it.

below - Dan makes his way into the crowd.
Kenny (to Dan's left) loved every moment of it and Stephen danced in the back row.

below - Dan and Simon work their way back into the audience.
No way they could leave Stephen back there dancing alone...

below - post show good times in the game room.
Simon tries on the "I'm a Texan" cowboy hat.

above - the conclusion of the first of the 3 last songs.

below - poterdavis doing what they do so well.

below - Mike tries a bit of Dalise's Custard Pie. Gimme some of it. Mmmm. Mmmmm.

above - told ya it was an "I'm a Texan" hat

below - again, I wish you could hear it...

all remaing shots below - I'll just let them speak for themselves. If you were there, you remember. If not, you missed out. We'll try and get them back very soon - don't miss it next time.
