The Front Porch Rockers |
Glenn Jochum found Steve Leighton by pure luck. When a keyboard player he was playing with went online he found Leighton’s Sheep Pasture Studio in Stony Brook advertised there and the two set about recording promo tracks to get more work. Leighton’s affability matched his versatility and before long Jochum was recording his original music there. The pair would wind up making four CDs together in four consecutive years from 2016-2019, with Leighton not only mixing and mastering the disks but also playing most of the instruments and providing back-up vocals. Each time a CD was completed Leighton and Jochum would showcase the original songs at a release party. Several times Leighton filled in for Earthtones bandmate Rick Hall when he was unavailable for a performance and Jochum decided to make it part of an annual tradition that the pair join up for a number of gigs each year in venues from Port Jefferson to Jamesport. “What shall we call ourselves, they wondered one day?” We’re just a couple of front porch rockers really,” was the agreed upon answer and the name stuck. “Steve can play just about anything if you give him the key,” says Jochum.
