<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Oklahoma rock outfit <b>Taddy Porter</b> has just announced new Spring tour dates in support of their recently released album <b><i>Stay Golden
</i></b>(Primary Wave Music).<b><i> </i></b>The band will hit<b> New York City Friday March 8<sup>th</sup>
</b>and then make their way to<b> Austin, TX for SXSW </b>before playing newly added shows in<b> Dallas, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and more.
</b>See the full list of tour dates below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Co-produced by <b>Dave Cobb</b> (Chris Cornell, Shooter Jennings) and <b>Mark Neill</b>(The Black Keys, Dan Auerbach), <b><i>Stay Golden</i></b> finds Taddy
Porter re-energized and cracking open the heart of the band like never before, flooding these 11 lo-fi songs with elements of raw rock, warm Motown soul, Southern blues and psychedelic pop to create their most expansive sound to date. <b><i>Filter </i></b>called
the album<i>“imaginative…everything Taddy Porter touches turns to gold…”</i> and <b><i>Music Connection</i></b> hailed frontman <b>Andy Brewer</b>’s<b> </b>vocal style as<b> </b><i>“every bit as unique as luminaries like Johnny Rivers and Alex Chilton.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>

its “soul revivalism.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white;background-position:initial initial;background-repeat:initial initial">
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">“[‘Fever’ is] in tune with the soul revivalism of the Heavy or Fitz and the Tantrums, with its primal guitar line leading and organ echoing in the background…[it] unfurls like a Kings of Leon track with a little more
soul, especially when frontman Andy Brewer belts out its title in the chorus.” -<b><i>Billboard</i></b></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">“The songs are tight, tough and informed by the best aspects of garage rockers that yearn for the arena. Echoes of the Yardbirds, old Deep Purple, the Kinks and even Motown keep the retro fires burning. Fun and frisky…the
quartet writes tough hook driven burners…” <b><i>American Songwriter</i></b></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">“…British Invasion meets Motown soul, with a healthy dose of Southern blues thrown in for good measure. [<i>Stay Golden</i>] does something not many albums released these days can do: deserve repeated listenings. It's
a true testament to the songwriting, performances and production skills and a welcome throwback to the sound of the '60s.” - <b><i>Guitar World</i></b></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
