NASHVILLE, Tenn.

“‘Walking the Floor’ is a timeless love song in the form of solid country gold. It was born for country radio,” Porter says.
A nostalgic return to simpler times, “Walking the Floor” is just the start for Porter. With plans to release 25 to 30 new songs in the coming year, the Alabama native aims to connect with listeners through relatable stories.
“I want you to know who I am,” Porter shares. “I’m a simple, small-town Alabama guy who loves country music, football, fishing, and hunting.”
Through heartfelt storytelling, he invites listeners to find themselves in his songs.
Porter will be available for interviews at CRS. Additional information and a full band bio are available upon request.
