Play Music on the Porch Day is a worldwide live-music movement now in its 10th year, held on the last Saturday in August at over 1,000 locations in more than 70 countries.
Musicians performing selections of unusual and original compositions will include headliner Rick Fink, a touring singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, N.Y.; along with Lavender Browne, Billy Band, Tree Folk; Tyler Greene and Chris Morrow. Artists will each perform a 20-minute set, representing different genres of music including folk, pop, rock, country and punk.

“This is a special day about the arts and the artists. Music and art play such an instrumental part in our daily lives and greatly contribute to the local economy. We are thrilled to be partnering with the DAC and having them on board for this, our first Play Music on the Porch Day,” said Mary Knight, Frantic Music Project co-founder.
