Back Porch Company
The members of Back Porch Company play for the pleasure of making music together and sharing it with others. We are an acoustic band and generally play without amplification.
​
Our playing encompasses a wide range of musical styles, including folk, American traditional, Irish, Christmas songs from around the world, gospel, an occasional wisp of bluegrass, and some pop music.
​Thanks for letting us share music with you!
