The Fretful Porcupine

The Fretful Porcupine brews a finely crafted roots chamber music made of saxophones, wires, and wood.

Since 2008, Jake and Kevin have been weaving tones together and tossing into the mix every genre that has ever inspired them. From day one they have been committed to both composition and improvisation, incorporating instruments of radically different ages: centuries (violin and mandolin), decades (alto, tenor and soprano saxophone) and months old (laptops, loop and octave pedals).
