Current is strongly influenced by: The pixies, NIRVANA, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Modest Mouse "music is an expression of life. it has always been an enormous part of mine from a listening stand point. I was a poet before becoming a guitarist. once i picked up the guitar that was it for me. I was hooked on songwriting." "My lyrics are vivid, showcasing my love of word combinations, meanings, and sounds. I never know what a song is going to be, lyrically or topically. Its like a puzzle or empty canvas. The guitar pulls the words out of me; thus writing itself. I am often astonished at the finished product--how words form imagery and often tell a complete story. Drift is the first professional recording Ive done.I wanted to have something tangible. It has been a rewarding experience. I enjoy listening to to Drift I hope you will too. Whether during the writing process or performing a completed song, getting lost in the creative experience drives me. Sharing that experience with others is a honor. I hope my works speak to the listener so they may derive as much pleasure in listening as I experience creating and performing. Cheers!" —Doug Porter
