Band/Performer Requirements 

Musicians or other types of performers are welcome, solo or ensemble.  The more types of music genres the better for PorchFest, as long as you can perform acoustically or at a compatible volume suited to your host’s location, the stage is yours.  You will be assigned one of our five, hour-long time slots on one of our hosts’ porches, leaving you four other hours to wander, mingle and celebrate music, or hustle off to your next gig.

All you need to do is:

1. Clear your schedule for Sunday, November 10th between noon and 5pm.
2. Fill out the registration form below.
3. Show up on time and perform at your assigned porch.

Performers must:

1. Show generosity and goodwill in the form of a freely given one hour performance.
2. Watch your email and texts for notifications and connect with your porch host shortly after receiving your assignment, which should be no later than mid-October.
3. Coordinate with your porch host about all of the logistics of your performance, e.g. space requirements, electricity needs, etc.
4. Bring whatever gear you need for your performance. No PA, sound, or other equipment is provided for you at this event.
5. Perform only during your assigned time slot, including sound check.
6. Play at a sound level respectful to the neighbors and/or other performers nearby. Use common sense about your volume level and adjust it accordingly as your sound should only fill the space between the house and the curb at your given location.
7. Get the word out to everyone you know to drop on by.
8. Have fun!
