Front Porch Productions

About Me


Front Porch Productions is proud to book concerts for some of the finest artists on the planet. For many of our musicians, public appearances are rare; but whether they play one show a year or a hundred, we consider each artist a unique talent, and every performance a special event. We take great care to place our acts in the best possible environment, and our roster is deliberately limited so we can provide our folks with the intimate, personal attention they deserve.
Ours is a wonderfully diverse collection of soundsmiths. From the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the soaring, epic minimalism of Tony Conrad to the cracked folk stylings of the legendary Michael Hurley and the thundering, built-from-scratch chaos of Neptune, each act puts forth compelling, essential work. We encourage you to take a listen.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or inquiries. DO NOT SEND MESSAGES TO THIS MYSPACE PAGE! Messages sent here will not be read. ALL INQUIRIES SHOULD BE SENT THROUGH OUR WEBSITE: www.frontporchproductions.org
