Taddy Porter Gets Cabin Fever

If it seemed like the guys in the Oklahoma based band Taddy Porter were on the road forever in support of their debut album, it’s because they were. Starting in 2007 and lasting through most of the next five years, the band pounded the pavement and literally played just about any rock venue that has ever existed in the past five years. But like anything else, there does come a time and a place for a band to come off the road to either recharge their battery or get back in the studio and write the next album.

For the guys in Taddy Porter, they were obviously focused in on the latter. After taking a short break, the band hopped into a Nashville studio late last year to begin the follow up to the debut. But as the band progressed with the album, the band wanted to get back out on the road and let fans sample a little bit of the next album. The band knew that after having two Top 40 Rock radio hits in “Shake Me” and “Big Enough” that striking the iron while it was hot can give them an advantage for the next album.

So, instead of waiting until the sophomore release is out later this year, Taddy Porter is hitting the road for a quick little tour that begins on February 15^th and wraps in early March. But the Detroit market will be probably the most frequent market the band will play on this tour, playing two dates in three days in the area. The band has a show planned at the Crofoot Ballroom on Wednesday, February 22^nd and then play the Autorama after party at the Motor City Casino two nights later on Friday, February 24^th. So with two chances to see Taddy Porter, there’s no excuse for fans to not see the band as they prepare for their next album.

Taddy Porter plays two shows: February 22^nd at the Crofoot Ballroom, tickets range from $1.01 to $5 and are available at www.ticketweb.com. They also play February 24^th at the Motor City Casino, tickets are $10 and are available at www.motorcitycasino.com. Additional tour dates and band info can be found at www.taddyporter.com.
