Music
What do you get when you combine a Governor General's Award-winning novelist supplying most of the lyrics, the trumpet player from the Canadian Brass playing guitars and harmonica, the double bassist from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra bowing away?
Pork Belly Futures takes writers, rockers, classical musicians and does the only logical thing. It creates a sort of jazzy blues band. The Porkers reunite the singer/song-writing 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 new Pork Belly Futures band are three of Canada’s busiest musicians. Stuart Laughton substituted his classical trumpet for guitar/harmonica and ace bassist Chas Elliott continues to do what he does best and keyboard wizard Richard Bell fills out one of Canada’s hottest new bands. Pork Belly Futures’ debut release “Way Past Midnight” was produced by David Gray, former guitarist with Parachute Club and Paul Butterfield. Assisting artists include award-winning Nashville guitarist Colin Linden (O Brother Where Art Thou?) vocalist extraordinaire Rebecca Campbell and The Canadian Brass.
