Greasy and The Pork Sandwiches is the grit and groove of the Maple Harbor multiverse. This project takes the foundational blueprints from North of Alder and Jon Shields and reimagines them through a saturated lens of smooth rock, blues, and syncopated funk. Defined by gravelly soul, tight rhythm sections, and a "pocket-first" philosophy, the band proves that a melodic story can be a gentle folk song in one life and a high-energy, floor-shaking anthem in another. As a vital pillar of Maple Harbor Records, they provide the essential "Soul" perspective to a catalog that knows no genre boundaries.
