So maybe you can’t go see your favorite performers right now. Maybe not for the foreseeable future? Let us bring them to you. Pick the date and the time, and we’ll do the rest. Your favorite artists, in an intimate concert for your friends and neighbors, literally on your front porch. We all have to be socially distant. Doesn’t mean we can’t be social. Here’s how.
DA RULES – SAFETY FIRST!
- Performances must be outdoor, in a space that allows safe distancing for performers and guests.
- All guests MUST maintain CDC recommended 6 feet of social distancing.
- Guests must bring their own chairs, blankets, tables, etc.
- Guests must bring their own food, beverage, etc.
- Guests must SIT BACK, RELAX, and ENJOY!!
WHAT YOU DO
- Pick a date and time for your front porch gig.
- Pick a local performer you’d like to host – choose from our roster, or let us know who you’d like to have, and we’ll reach out to them for you.
- Not sure who/what you want? Ask us, and we’ll find a good fit for you.
WHAT WE DO
- We will be your artist liaison for every aspect of your gig.
- We will negotiate payment terms and delivery with your artist on your behalf.
- We will facilitate communication between you and your artist to customize your gig to fit your needs.
- We will create an evite you can share with your friends and neighbors.
PAYMENT
We ask that NO CASH CHANGES HANDS before, during or after your front porch gig. Once payment terms are negotiated, you will submit payment electronically to Front Porch Gigs, and we will pay the artist on your behalf.
TIPPING
We encourage you and your guests to tip artists as you see fit – for many, these small gigs are their only remaining source of income, and they are working for a fraction of their usual fees. That said, we ask that ALL TIPPING BE DONE ELECTRONICALLY. We will provide you with our artists’ virtual tip jars (PayPal, Venmo).
OUR MISSION
Our goal is simple: to reconnect music lovers and local musicians through intimate, small scale “front porch gigs.” This is all about a win-win. Friends and neighbors get a welcome escape from the isolation of social distancing. Musicians get to do what they do best, and earn some income at a time when the live performance industry has been completely wiped out. Minus a nominal administrative fee, 100% of proceeds go to musicians and their families.
