Overview
WORLD PORT is an Emmy winning band that performs their original worldview instrumental music. Their unique sound has a variety of cultural influences.
During each performance, WORLD PORT blends world styles and rhythms like Caribbean, Celtic, South American, Asian, African, Blues, Blurgrass and more with jazz form and improvisation. They have five CDs: Prairies, Stacking Stones, World View, Welcome and Stories Without Words.
Audiences are also drawn to WORLD PORT performances through leader and composer Paul Micich's very unusual and expressive instrument, the electric horn. Listeners hear sounds like harmonica, piano, violin, percussion, flute and more coming from the electric horn.
Micich says "Music is one of the great pleasures and places in our lives. It moves us. It lifts us up. It reminds us. It expresses sadness and pure fun. Our world view music is really stories without words. Those stories are inspired by music thathas immigrated here. We have a fantastic time when we perform. It's always our goal to share that feeling with our audiences through the music."
