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. |

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.
