“Any room can be a back porch with the right music.” – The Porch Brothers

The Porch Brothers are Richard Brooker and Tom Heany – two guys with weathered voices, several guitars and a mandolin. They make any music they can play with that combination. Their songs are mostly American and mostly vintage, with generous handfuls of originals, contemporary tunes and complete surprises thrown in.

They swap good songs back and forth in a style that is relaxed, curious and just a little gritty. A typical set might include jazz from Duke Ellington or Django Reinhardt, a John Prine song, some standards from Rodgers and Hart or Hoagy Carmichael, old country classics, a few traditional tunes and a couple of originals.

Hearing the Porch Brothers is like sitting on a back porch on a summer night listening to good friends play through all the old songs they know.

Richard Brooker joined the musician’s union as a teen-aged guitarist and has performed extensively in the northeastern United States, in England and in Ireland. His deft touch on guitar and mandolin comes from decades of playing songs from American, Celtic, Gypsy and Brazilian traditions.

Tom Heany sings and plays guitars. He is a Hudson River songwriter who lives just up the road a bit from the Towne Crier. His guitar playing has touches of ragtime, jazz, folk music and country blues, but most of what he knows about music comes from the Great American song book.

Tom has recorded and released four collections of songs: “Reservoir” (2017), “Dogs in the Water” (2018), the all-instrumental “Home at Last” (2022), and “New, Thanks to You” (2024). His newest, “If I Had God’s Ear,” will be released in 2025.
