biographical info
A product of the gritty desperation and stoic indignation that blooms year-round in the border-cities of Windsor/Detroit; The unlikely combination of Portia's diverse influences is responsible for thier forward sound. By the emotive and engaging percussive stylings of Shane Miersch, the warm perfection on bass played by Eric Arner, the humbled guitar and ethereal, jazzy vocal haunts of Steph Copeland, an inspired new genre is created.
Minimalist electronic overtones provide a moody backdrop for the edgy stories found in the lyrics.
Portia are currently performing in the Windsor/Detroit region, with plans to extend their reach outward in all directions.
