==Musical career==
Born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and raised in the isolated mountain town of Bailey, Colorado, Porter began playing music at a young age, often acting as a sit-in drummer for his father's biker bar band. As a teenager Porter began to experiment with his own songs, recording and distributing hundreds of homemade cassettes influenced by everything from the crazed jazz guitar of Sonny Sharrock to the placid strumming of Syd Barrett. As a result of these demos, Porter was signed to Camera Obscura Records, an Australian indie label who released his first full-length CDs: the shadowy, lo-fi ''Reverb Saved My Life'' (2002), and ''Reconsidered'' (2001), a disc recorded with the shoegazer group Phineas Gage.

After moving to New York in 2003, Porter recorded a handful of discs known as the "New York Trilogy", ''Lisha Kill'' (Camera Obscura, 2005), ''Maybe Waltz'' (Evelyn Records, 2004), and ''Skylan Mo'' (Asaurus Records, 2004). In 2006 he signed with Greyday Productions, an indie label in Portland Oregon. His most recent recording, ''Die Wandaland'', is to be released in September 2006.
