A broad range of Indie Rock and Americana and the American Roots styles that inspired it: country blues, Zydeco, roots rock, Tex Mex, rockabilly, Singer-Songwriter, Motown, Brazilian and Louisiana music. This combo, sprung out of the pandemic has developed a unique, catchy, funky, moody sound. Comparison's have been made to the music of Big Al Anderson (NRBQ), The Band, JJ Cale, Asleep At The Wheel, Dan Hicks, Buddy & Julie Miller, Jesse Ed Davis & Levon Helm.

"...What sets 'Stories In The Heart' apart is its sense of balance. Resonator guitar, violin, bass, drums, percussion, dobro, and Telecaster create a flexible, roots-forward palette that allows Back Porchestra to move between styles fluidly. The songs echo traditions without reenacting them, keeping one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in the present." - Vince's Hot Picks (Best of 2026) New Releases Now
