Reaching for Higher Ground

Porterhouse Bob and Down to the Bone
Ministers of Psycho-New Orleans Barrelhouse Blues

Porterhouse Bob may well be Southern California’s best-kept secret, but to a growing fan base that extends well beyond California, he and his band are achieving cult status. Porterhouse has been making music professionally since 1965. The band has played such diverse venues as The Sand Dollar Blues Lounge in Las Vegas, the Atlantic Casino in Reno, Disney’s California Adventure, The Blue Cafe, and summer festivals from San Diego to Sacramento. They recently appeared with Gene Simmons on the A&E TV show Gene Simmons Family Jewels

Porterhouse’s music and show are a reflection of smoke filled New Orleans bar rooms and the characters and sounds that made those rooms famous. It's music that celebrates life.

Raised in Los Angeles playing the accordion, piano and drums, Porterhouse hit the road, at 15 years old, playing with Dot Records recording artists, Gene Gray and the Stingrays. By the time the late sixties hit, the era of free love and music that was Haight Ashbury had turned into a labyrinth of overindulgence. Porterhouse survived within the darker underpinnings of the Haight; living out of his van, working the streets and playing the blues until he hooked up with Billy Roberts, writer of "Hey Joe". Gigs in Houston, Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles followed his tenure with Roberts as he worked on keyboards as a traveling backup musician, opening shows for Willie Dixon, Paul Butterfield and many other great blues artists of the time.

Porterhouse spent much of his free time writing music: material that would eventually craft itself into a style reflecting the music of early rock pioneers that hailed from New Orleans. In 2000 he put together his lineup of horns, keyboards, bass and drums; expanding the horn section from one to four (trumpet, tenor sax, baritone sax, and trombone/tuba). The sound carried with it reflections of early "N'Awlins" R&B, but was redefined by Porterhouse’s primarily west-coast experience. Fans call it “Pyscho-New Orleans party music”.

Porterhouse has released three CD under the independent label, Big Mojo Records: Rockin’ the Big House, Shoutin’ at the Grave, and Who Called The Cops. The band continues reaching for higher ground.

Band members include Porterhouse Bob on keyboards and vocals, Mitch Montrose on drums, Mike Barry on bass, George Pandis on trumpet, Dan Heffernan on tenor and alto sax, Dan Weinstein on tuba, bone and fiddle, Don Roberts on baritone sax and Ken Tussing on trombone.

You need to check out the new Victoria "Blowbox" Harp amp! I was instrumental in designing and getting into their line of top shelf amps. Go to youtube and search me "James Reeser" and there are a couple of recent vids featuring it. 

It is a 45 watt 2X8 amp. It looks like a tweed head but yes it has 2 8" speakers in it. No one can believe such a fat rich tone comes from a little amp. It is versatile... light weight... It can be plugged into any speaker cab as it has 2, 4 and 8 ohm output taps. It also has a switch that makes it either a stock 59 Bassman if that is your tone (also for guitar if desired) or flip the switch for the harp special circuits and rich fat harp tone! And yes has plenty of power as a stand alone to keep up with just about any band.

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
