Residents volunteer their porches to host live music in a socially distanced environment. If you have a porch or stoop within the event perimeters and would like to volunteer as a host, please fill out the form below.

The host duties are as follows:

1. You need to be in attendance at your porch during setup and while artists are performing on your porch. Setup usually starts 30-45 minutes before set time depending on the type of artist performing on your porch (ie. acoustic or electric).

2. If you would like to have an electric musician/band perform on your porch, they will need access to an outlet either outside your porch or inside your home by the front door.

3. Inform your neighbors of the date and time when there will be live music on your porch and invite them to attend.

4. Help maintain social distancing guidelines at your porch, including ensuring all attendees are wearing a mask, maintaining 6' of social distance, etc
