The Porchistas started as a bunch of friends writing and singing songs late into summer nights, on their rickety porch on Forest Street in Montclair, New Jersey. That evolved to DIY house concerts and block parties that continue today. 
 

The 2014 release of their 5th CD, “Shoot it at the Sun”  built upon their  reputation  for deft songwriting and received great reviews from NJarts.net, The Aquarian Weekly, The Asbury Park Press, NJ Stage Magazine, The Montclair Times, Northjersey.com, JerseyBeat Magazine and many more, "... a step forward as songwriters, as instrumentalists, and as conceptualists..."
