George Porter, Jr. Announces New Runnin’ Pardners Album, Releases Single
2021 is already looking up! Bass icon George Porter, Jr. has announced a new album with his band Runnin’ Pardners will be dropping in two months.
Crying For Hope is the group’s first studio recording since 2015’s It’s Time To Funk EP. Ahead of its release, Porter has dropped the title track as a single. The mid-tempo number features a stone cold groove and thick texture. Unison instrumental lines punctuate the song’s verses for a very Meters-esque feel.
The full album will be available in February, but the single “Crying For Change” is available now on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and streaming platforms.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
