PORKCHOP is hard hittin' in-your-face, classic rockin' blues. Three seasoned musicians with influences ranging from blues, funk & country to straight-ahead rock n' roll, PORKCHOP uses a blend of soulful vocals and great musicianship to lay down danceable grooves that are hard to resist. Primary influences include artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Wilson Pickett, and ZZ Top. PORKCHOP formed on the 1st of January, 1995. The members create a tight unit whose various talents accentuate one another:

KURT SCHWARZ (guitar/vocals):

Born in St Paul, MN, Kurt formed his first band in 7th grade. The rest is history. While in Mississippi, he toured the U.S. with acts such as Notches Trace, The History of Rock & Roll, Dean & the Band Lands Express and Two’s Company. Kurt, nicknamed "Pork Chop,” enjoys jamming and has become very visual & popular with area bands who respect his ability and passion for his instrument. His intensity takes command when he hits the stage.

 


 

 

????????? (drums):

Porkchop is currently looking for a permanent drummer.

 

PORKCHOP’s unwillingness to compromise with the "in” trend and instead relying on classic blues and rock standards, makes them a mainstay in today & tomorrow’s music scene.
