John Gourley, singer and guitarist of progressive rock band Portugal. The Man, is different than many young touring musicians. He was raised in Alaska (Wasilla, exactly, home of Sarah Palin) and dropped out of school when he was 15 to build houses with his father. He grew up on a steady diet of oldies rock including Sam Cooke and The Beatles, but Gourley also loved the cover band that featured his friend Zach Carothers (now his bassist and vocalist with PTM), with its repertoire of Nirvana, Slayer and Rage Against the Machine songs.
