The Porkchop Express

The Porkchop Express at The Riptide brings a veteran San Francisco Americana band with more than two decades of rootsy, high-energy performance behind it. Their sound tosses folk, outlaw country, and rock ’n’ roll into a distinctly honky-tonk mix, powered by country harmonies, fiddle, lap steel, mandolin and ukulele, garage-rock guitar, and a punk-leaning rhythm section.
