biographical info
The Porkers reunite the songwriting team of Paul Quarrington and Martin Worthy, whose 1980 album produced by John Capek and engineered by Daniel Lanois yielded the #1 hit single "Baby and the Blues". Quarrington is one of Canada's best known literary figures, having won awards for his novels, TV scripts, screenplays and songwriting.
Completing the exciting Pork Belly Futures band are three of Canada's busiest musicians.

Pork Belly Futures' debut release "Way Past Midnight" was produced by David Gray, former guitarist with the Parachute Club and Paul Butterfield.
Assisting artists include award -winning Nashville guitarist Colin Linden (Brother Where Art Thou?),vocalist extraordinaire Rebecca Campbell and The Canadian Brass.
