Porkbelly Futures takes, writers, rockers, classical musicians and does the only logical thing. It creates a sort of jazzy blues band with a country twang. The band reunite the singer/song-writing team of Paul Quarrington and Martin Worthy, whose 1980 album produced by John Capek and engineered by Daniel Lanois yielded the #1 hit single "Baby and the Blues". Quarrington is one of Canada's best-known literary figures, having won awards for his novels, TV scripts, screenplays and songwriting.

Completing the exciting new Porkbelly Futures band are some of Canada's busiest musicians. Stuart Laughton substituted his classical trumpet for guitar/harmonica, vocalist extraordinaire Rebecca Campbell is prominently featured and ace bassist Chas Elliott continues to do what he does best. The band's up-coming,self-titled release is particularly special as it stars their late bandmate and one of the great keyboard players of our time, Richard Bell.
