Porterdavis

Officially my favorite blues band currently, Porterdavis is a band local to Austin, Texas. Their sound is markedly percussive, with mindblowing harmonica riffs. Doesn't get much better. They just came out with a new album, which has serious promise. Check them out on their website (and preview their entire album): www.loveporterdavis.com
