Joe Selby and Andy Brewer of Taddy Porter are the subject of the most recent installment of “on.” Check out Nathan Poppe’s interview and an acoustic performance at www.osuon.wordpress.com

Something was in the air when Joe Selby and Andy Brewer sat down to represent the band Taddy Porter for an “on.” interview and performance.

Besides the music, the most obvious thing was a mosquito. Guitarist Joe Selby noticed the pest on his arm while playing “Long, Slow Drag.” He continued strumming his guitar while the creature drained his blood. Luckily, listening to Taddy Porter has the opposite effect.

The duo slowed down its rowdy, electric tunes for an acoustic set in Stillwater’s Strickland Park on Main Street.

Taddy Porter’s set was as engaging as the duo’s hair is long.
