Jeremy Porter & The Tucos are ready to rock the Kings Rook Club stage.

Saturday, June 10

With a "sound like guitars and whiskey," Detroit-bred rockers Jeremy Porter & The Tucos offer up "hooks and heartache, energy and passion."

That's the short (and accurate) self-description of the experienced three-piece, who take a page or two out of the songbooks of everyone from Merle Haggard to Husker Du.

Their own songbook in tow, Porter & the Tucos will sound off on the Kings Rook Club stage.

They're being joined that evening by The Broke Boland Band, some of Erie's own progenitors of high-energy, heart-driven, many-influenced musical musings.

Ready or not, the Rook is gonna rock that night. - Ryan Smith
