Jamie Porter Band are a Rock n Roll band from North Wales fronted by singer/songwriter & guitarist Jamie.
Jamie Porter (Guitar/Vocals) Dave Paveley (Bass/Vocals) & Simon Waterhouse (Drums).
With a musical family and experience of playing in many bands over the years, the JPB began as a song writing project for Jamie's song writing and music.
While loving the creating of music, Jamie feels mostly at home putting across the music through live performance completing the creative cycle of music making, which led to the beginning of JPB.
The band have a growing live reputation with the performances providing grooving riffs, catchy hooks and uplifting choruses with plenty of opportunity for audience participation, having had great feedback, reviews and bookings following recent live shows.
Described as '...feel good anthemic blues/country rock...' in an album review in Power Play Rock & Metal Magazine (Issue 207 April 2018), influences are many taken from a variety of blues/ country/ classic rock/ metal, and even a bit of soul; in fact as long as is a good song, could be any genre.
Music has been played on independent and local rock radio/radio shows across the UK and beyond over the past few years, with DJ’s and stations such as ARFM, Rock Radio UK, Tameside Radio, HRH Radio, Metal Mayhem, Midlands Metal Heads, Total Rock, Mon FM, Wyatt's New Rock Show on Planet Rock as well as many others.
Songs are regularly in rotation on Las Vegas based Big Time Radio and have been used on TV shows on the UK’s Channel 4.
During 2020/2021, JPB have released a number of digital singles that have been well received by rock radio.
