Front Porch Music To Present Local Talent At Town Hall Theatre
Six local acts will be featured during the October 4th performance.
Front Porch Music, a Lafayette-based nonprofit, will bring six local musical groups to Town Hall Theatre this October as part of its quarterly folk music series, Front Porch Music Presents, in partnership with Town Hall Theatre Co.
This one-night-only local music festival will showcase the exceptional talents of local acoustic musicians and performers to benefit the dual nonprofit communities and their mission to support community music and the performing arts.
Now in its second year, the series has attracted more than a thousand audience members who have enjoyed live performances in the historic Town Hall Theatre. This, the fourth and final show in the 2024 series, will take place on Friday, October 4th at 7:00 pm, with lobby entertainment by folk troubadour Steve Smulian, starting at 6:00 pm.
Six local acts will be featured during the October 4th performance:
- The Threetles (Carole Zingeser, John Rafferty, and Sparky Grinstead) blend influences from the British Invasion, classical music, jazz standards, country, and folk, all with a touch of humor.
- Janel Wagner, a competitive fingerstyle guitarist and vocalist, will join forces with Margaret Meckes, who recently captivated audiences at the 2024 Lamorinda Idol Finals, winning the Audience Award.
- Don Dixon, Paul Robles, Terry Garyhart, and Bob Furtado promise a dynamic and engaging performance that reflects their collective energy and musical prowess.
- Laura Zucker, an award-winning singer/songwriter, infuses her performances with warmth and a deep connection to her audience.
- Neal Cassidy and Eileen Raphael are known for their discerning song selection, innovative arrangements, and vocal interplay.
- Joanne Cosmos Finn and Joanne Weil Heald, affectionately known as Joanne and Joanne, bring a rich blend of folk, blues, and light rock that invites listeners to relax and enjoy the music.
