Release Notes:
Porkbelly Futures, the unusal combination of
musicians and writers who may well have Canada's
oddest band name, have signed with Cordova Bay, the
growing independent Victoria-based label that is
also home to numerous other Canadian artists,
including Wyckham Porteous, State of Shock, David
Gogo, Bill Bourne and Bob Lanois. The label is
distributed nationally in Canada by Fontana
North/Universal Music.
Set for release April 8th, 2008, the self-titled
Porkbelly Futures CD features a band made up of
widely diverse members, including award-winning
author Paul Quarrington on guitar and vocals;
founding member of the Canadian Brass, Stuart
Laughton on trumpet, mandolin, pedal steel, and
guitar; singer Rebecca Campbell; acclaimed drummer
and composer Martin Worthy; Toronto Symphony member
Chas Elliot on bass.
The new CD is dedicated to the late Richard Bell,
the keyboard player and accordionist who played
with Janis Joplin, Blackie & The Rodeo Kings,
Ronnie Hawkins and countless others, and who is
heard with the Porkbellys on what turned out to be
his last recording.
The band was formed eight years ago as a Chicago
blues-based group, but soon broadened its sound to
include elements of country and rock as songs --
often humourous and sometimes even literary -- were
added to the repertoire by Quarrington, Worthy, and
Laughton..
Porkbelly Futures is setting off on dates in Quebec
and the Maritimes on April 10, and will hold a
release party in Toronto at Hugh's Room on April
29. On some of the band's dates, Quarrington will
read from his CBC Canada Reads winner, King Leary,
and his well-reviewed new book, The Ravine,
published by Random House.
