Front Porch

Front Porch released their debut album "Shallow Grave" in fall 2023 as an independent release, describing it as "Post-Punk Old Time Acid Jazz Barn Burning Bluegrass Fusion that will sweep you away". Their energetic live shows have captured audiences across the United States. Their performances showcase masterful instrumentation, featuring thundering clawhammer banjo, driving mandolin, guitar, and fiddle melodies that define their propulsive sound.

Front Porch were nominated in 2024 and 2025 for Arkansas CMAs Bluegrass Band of the Year, headlined numerous festivals, and supported artists including Bela Fleck, Sierra Hull, Infamous Stringdusters, and Del McCoury.

They are currently touring with their new album "Toolbox". The new album highlights their continued growth as musicians and songwriters. The band expands the boundaries of American roots and bluegrass while crafting their own distinctive sound. All four band members contribute songs to this album, creating stylistic diversity that coheres as a unified collection.

Guitarist John Henry weaves deep storytelling with driving guitar runs in "Great Grandaddy's Barn". Bassist Cameron Keeling brings traditional bluegrass feeling and soaring, lonesome harmonies to "Truer Words". Mandolinist Alex Hawf lends dark, jazz-inspired melodies to "Skvader". And banjo and fiddle player Petey Wesley brings old-time vibes to "Meet me in the Ground".

The new album Toolbox will be released on September 12, 2025.
