Kneebone voted Best Guitarist - Flag Live 2005 Deb and Kneebone formed their own record label:
 It all started on the Porch...1996 ~ Deb and Kneebone used to jam on the back porch at
Deb's shanty on Lone Tree Drive in Flastaff, Arizona. What
started out as a casual music party became more when
it was clear that there was a chemistry between the two.
When jams turned into songs they 'hit the road' and are
now performing at concerts, festivals, clubs, coffeehouses, and
breweries in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The Porchlights have released 5 CDs, and the 6th album
is currently in production and will feature original songs
recorded at the FRIENDLY EDDY STUDIOS in Dolores, CO.
A new DVD has just been released, featuring live
performances of new and classic tunes.
