Bio/Quick Pitch

Jeremy Porter and the Tucos are an original rock and roll band playing classic American style powerpop, rockabilly, roots-rock/Alt-country, and indie/alternative. If you must call it something, call it Detroit Rock and Roll. Their influences include Cheap Trick, Uncle Tupelo, X, Drive-By Truckers, Hüsker Dü, and just about anything else that rocks, swings, two-steps, or staggers.

The Tucos formed in late 2010 in the Detroit suburbs. They've toured the US and Canada many times, and the UK in 2018. They have four full-length albums out and several 7” singles and contributions to comps and collections. They’ve played with several big-name touring bands, including Cracker, Soul Asylum, Sponge, Lydia Loveless, Supersuckers, Beach Slang, and many more. The Tucos partner with Lansing, MI-based GTG Records, distributed by Recess Ops Distribution.

Jeremy and his bandmates, Jake and Gabriel are easy going, easy to work with, punctual, professional, and hard working. They promote like hell and can play any room from the big rock clubs to the corner coffee shops, and adjust the set, volume, and performance accordingly. They can play all night long, or they can easily fall in on a bill with other bands. They want everyone to feel safe and welcome at their shows, regardless of race, color, gender, gender expression, favorite Star Wars character, or anything else.

Press

“Jeremy Porter & The Tucos sound like a band raised on classic rock and roll(Beatles, the Who, Cheap Trick, NRBQ), but then took a detour that led them to punk rock, alt-country, 90s indie, and most anything with a little jangle. Their songs are earworm after earworm, with a solid front man and songwriter in Porter who has a voice that’s part Jay Farrar, Rhett Miller, and Robin Zander for good measure. He’s just got one of those voices that can pretty much sell anything.” – Complex Distractions, 2022

“A rave-up, rock and roll band of the highest, truest order; JP&TC sound like guitars and whiskey, hooks and heartache, and sullen, youthful defiance. They fit alongside a variety of forbearers, from Cheap Trick to Gram Parsons, Hüsker Dü to Uncle Tupelo, Merle Haggard to AC/DC.” – Ghettobaster Magazine, 2021

"...one of America's best examples of pure talent and hard work." - Jersey Beat, November 2017

“…as northern American blues as you can get before Canada. Whiskey-smooth, with the veteran inspiration of Cheap Trick and the experimentation of Hüsker Dü. They also have grooves, in all the right places.” – Dayton City Paper, Oct 2015
