An Atlanta native, Eddie Ray Porter grows up listening to Dylan. It's in San Francisco, via NYC, that he starts his singer/songwriter career, at the beginning of the 80's. Also influenced by Television, B. Springsteen & Van Morrison, his music is successively dark, passionate and bright... E. R. Porter (like his friend Steve Wynn from the Dream Syndicate) is one of the beautiful losers of Eighties' American songwriting.
Eddie Ray Porter recorded three albums for New Rose records. "When the Morning Falls" in 1987 (lp only) produced by Chuck Prophet (Green On Red), "Dance On The Earth" in 1988 followed by "Letter To Mary" in 1991. He also appears with the song "Wishing"on "Everyday Is a Holly Day" , the New Rose tribute to Buddy Holly.
