A man and a guitar.

Willy Porter

One of Milwaukee’s most reliable musicians returns to Madison (where he lived in the late 1980s) to kick off a month-long tour of mostly Midwestern cities. For more than 30 years, Willy Porter has been slinging an acoustic guitar from stage to stage, leaving in his wake an impressive body of Americana and folk music. He reached his commercial peak with 1994’s Dog Eared Dream, which nabbed him opening slots with The Cranberries and Toad the Wet Sprocket, but Porter never stopped finger-picking his trusty guitar — releasing a series of quality albums with universally themed songs and sung with a well-traveled voice. Word has it that record number 13 could drop sometime this year.

$22.50 ($20 adv.).
