New EP "Stillness in the Fire" out now!
"North Carolina based Porchlight Apothecary show truth through lyricism and instrumentation in the groups latest release "Lost In You". The band seem to channel influences straight from the N.C. dirt they live upon. The emotional track doesn't question falling in love. The beauty of the track lies in the juxtaposition between being lost at sea as well as diving head long into love. Showing emotion through both vocals and instrumentation is not an easy feat, but it has been accomplished by the band on this track..."

"Raleigh quartet Porch Light Apothecary celebrates the release of its new LP, Weight of the Heart.  The record feels immediately comfortable and familiar thanks to warm, rootsy instrumentation that backs the emotive, rugged croon of Brent Jordan as he lets listeners in via revealing storytelling..."

"Porch Light Apothecary hail from Raleigh NC, and the music they make oozes with proof. The newest single to be released off the groups forthcoming album is entitled "I Shall Be Released". The track rides upon a piano swing that quickly gives in to near virtuostic guitar. Powerful vocals take me home to a back road only lit by the headlights of my own car. "I Shall Be Released" seems to be the croon of a broken man who learns to let go of anger and torment. Its a funny juxtaposition between his angst and the genuine happiness the track gives back to me..."

"Raleigh's Porch Light Apothecary celebrates the release of its studio debut, Silence to Sound, capping a few years of sonic growth in which the band doubled in size.  As a quartet, it bolsters Brent Jordan's rich baritone and revealing lyricism with vibrant arrangements to match his warmth..."

"...This quartet forms one entity that prescribes your your next favorite Americana album..." 
"... Its (Silence to Sound) lyrics stem from the mind and soul of lead singer Brent Jordan, who writes about every day life, including its oscillating vulnerabilities, conflicts, and love for his home of North Carolina.  His gritty voice and the organic layers of the band successfully deliver the feelings and sounds of the album that make you ponder, but not worry, about life..."

"...Then there was Porch Light Apothecary (great name), who took the mini-fest in a third completely different direction. Their rolling country-folk started very slow, with a similar soft-folk sound to a number of other local acts. But the organ-drums-guitar setup distinguished them, and as they began to amp it up, I was reminded of more rollicking acts like Magnolia Company and Holy Ghost Tent Revival..."

How Strange It Is To Be Anything At All
"Even as a live record, the minimalism of Porch Light Apothecary’s new album is daring. Many of the popular songwriters that leap immediately to mind when listening—current alt-country standouts Jason Isbell and John Moreland, for instance—wrap their studio efforts with deceptively full arrangements, where pedal steel and harmony singing can cushion any lame lyrics. But on Live at Lincoln Theatre, there’s just acoustic and electric guitar and drums. Sure, there are some moments when Brent Jordan’s words could use a little more support, but more often than not, his booming baritone and sincere sentiments play well in this stark light."
