Front Porch

Described as “old time acid jazz punk rock barn burning bluegrass fusion that will have you jumping,” Front Porch independently released their first album “Shallow Grave” in the fall of 2023. Gaining attention across the U.S. with their energetic live shows, their performances highlight their skillful instrumentation, where foot stomping clawhammer banjo, ripping mandolin, guitar and fiddle melodies are at the forefront of their driving sound.

Front Porch has been nominated for bluegrass band of the year for the Arkansas Country Music Awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026, has headlined many festivals, and has supported artists such as Bela Fleck, Sierra Hull, Infamous Stringdusters, and Del McCoury. They are currently on tour supporting their sophomore album “Toolbox.”

Their most recent album highlights their continued growth as musicians and songwriters, where the band pushes the boundaries of American roots and bluegrass while creating their own unique sound. All four band members write songs for this album which creates a diversity of styles that reads as a cohesive collection. Guitarist John Henry pairs thoughtful storytelling with ripping guitar runs on his song, “Great Grandaddy’s Barn.” Bassist Cameron Keeling brings a traditional bluegrass feel with high lonesome harmonies on “Truer Words.” Mandolinist Alex Hawf brings dark jazz inspired melodies to his tune, “Skvader.” And banjo and fiddle player Petey Wesley brings an old time vibe with his song “Meet me in the Ground.”
