Jeremy Porter grew up in Marquette, a small city on the shore of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where he was a founding member of one of the UP's first punk bands - The Regulars. After moving to the Detroit area in 1988, he would go on to join, form and front several bands including Chutes and Ladders, SlugBug, Clashback, Fidrych and The OffRamps.
Jeremy released and toured behind a solo album in 2010 called Party of One and formed Jeremy Porter and The Tucos the following year. The Tucos have released 4 LP/CDs, a live EP, several singles, and a 3-CD ten-year retrospective collection. They tour the US and Canada regularly and toured the UK in 2018. In 2024, Jeremy released Dynamite Alley on GTG Records, his first full-length solo album since 2010. Jeremy supplements the Tucos' schedule with solo shows when possible, pulling material from his entire career.
Jeremy has appeared as a guest and contributed gutiar, vocals and writing to releases by several bands including Watershed, Porchsleeper, Popular Creeps and Head Injury.
Reverend Guitars have designated Jeremy as a featured artist and he proudly plays their Pete Anderson Signature Model as his primary instrument live.
Jeremy is Co-Editor in Chief and contributes regularly to Pencil Storm - a Columbus, Ohio-based music, film, sports, and culture blog run by Colin Gawel of the band Watershed. Jeremy writes album reviews, show previews and reviews, memoriam articles, and other peices. Direct links to all of his contributions are HERE.
"Rock and Roll Restrooms - A Photographic Memoir" is a coffee table book of photographs compiled in dive bar bathrooms by Jeremy while on tour across the USA and Canada. Limited copies of the prototype pressings are available while the search for a publisher continues.
