Sat., Oct. 25th, 7-9 PM, at Town Hall Theatre, brought to you by Front Porch Music -- Crying Uncle Bluegrass Band! They are still in college and they are already known around the world as one of the bes of their kind in Bluegrass, Jazzgrass, Dawg music -- it's impossible to give them a fixed category. In 2024, the bluegrass band celebrated their debut at the Grand Ole Opry; and in 2023, they received the International Bluegrass Music Association's Momentum Band of the Year award. The band was also honored to perform for the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame’s induction of their hero, David Grisman. Not to be missed. Learn more.

Sun., Nov. 9, 2025 | 6–8 PM
Front Porch Music, in collaboration with West Coast Songwriters, hosts an intimate series of Sunday Songwriter Sessions at the Town Hall Theatre. These gatherings bring together creative songwriters to share their songs and the stories behind them in a relaxed circle on stage. It’s not an open mic, and it’s not a workshop—just a unique space for songwriters to connect, listen, and inspire one another. Space is limited, so please sign up below if you'd like to come and share an original song.
Joe Peters and David Burkhart create some magic at Front Porch Songwriter Sessions in June with Joe's original 'There's More to Me'

Front Porch Music is a 501-c-3 nonprofit organization based in Lafayette, California, dedicated to supporting adult musicians and emerging artists. Our mission is carried out through open mic nights, affordable public performances for the community in partnership with regional indoor and outdoor venues, songwriter sessions, and this year, Front Porch Connects will launch for networking, collaboration, and volunteer opportunities for musicians within the community.

From 2019 to the present, John and Colleen McCormick at Lamorinda Music have supported our efforts by offering the Big Room for the open mic series and through guitar donations to our gift guitar program. Thank you John and Colleen!
