Биография

Joel Porter is an alternative folk artist, composer, and producer born from the plains of North Dakota, now based in Nashville. His music possesses sweeping harmonic landscapes, warm melodies, and achingly genuine storytelling that’s equal parts exploration and confession. His eagerness to dive deep with anyone, paired with his versatile musicianship (he’s recorded string and brass parts for Foreign Fields, Hembree, Matthew And The Atlas, and Boom Forest), has led him to become an intentional collaborator. Along the way, he’s tapped into something real and purposeful with fellow artists and explorers. For years, he’s worked closely with producer Eric Hillman (Foreign Fields). After introducing his intimate, poetic, solo project with the release of his nature-inspired ‘Mountain Twin EP’—Joel and Hillman released the heritage- and family-infused ‘Hiraeth EP’. Joel’s pointed exploration through songwriting and music provides him a courageous and unapologetic look into the depths of the mind and the human journey we all are tasked with... a universal journey, one that many of us take in pursuit of understanding—both ourselves and others—a little better.
