Taddy Porter Gets to Tour with Slash

Do you know Taddy Porter? The band is definitely throw back - just basic rock n' roll. Taddy Porter released their official debut this summer and now gets to tour with Slash. That's pretty huge in my book! I saw them at both Rock on the Range and Rocklahoma and they rocked. Here's a press release about the tour. Check out the Taddy Porter video below.

NEW YORK, NY (July 26, 2010)  - Stillwater, Oklahoma quartet Taddy Porter has been confirmed as the opening act for legendary guitarist, Slash.  The eight-date run will begin in Toronto on September 10, 2010 at Kool Haus.

I had never heard of them before they were announced for Rok and I am from oklahoma and went to school in Stillwater, but I really like them. I bought the cd from itunes and pretty good all the way through.
