artist Jill Porter

Jill Porter’s self-titled debut CD radiates of confidence and authentic rock and roll. Beautiful desperation and undeterred hope are blanketed by honest lyrics and clever phrasing equal to the likes of Dylan and Robbie Robertson. Porter is clearly in tune with her inner self. Determined to get what she wants, she continues to be resiliently available to take charge against the odds of a tight-lipped scene. Hell-bent on scaling the old city walls without falling into the cracks, the St. John’s-based singer/songwriter gets her points across without threatening her stance as a respected lady of music. Clearly not a country or traditional singer posing as a rocker, Jill Porter is, indeed, the real deal. This look at where she stands in the tender savagery of the heart and mind during this stage of her life sets her aside from other artists. Intensity runs wild throughout each song. Porter’s music is relevant and couldn’t have arrived at a better time. As rock and roll lays wounded and suffering in a ditch on the side of the Trans Canada, hope shows its thick-skinned soul in the form of this necessary musical delicacy. Jill Porter’s all-original first release is for those who understand great music and where it comes from; a definite buy for both seasoned listeners and performers, and a must-have tool for aspiring lyricists and musicians. It will make a difference.
