The Front Porch Rockers are three
friends — Jesús , Paula, and Jim — who play front porch rock. What is
front porch rock? It’s music for hanging out with old or new friends on a
warm night with a nice breeze … drinking cold drinks … laughing and sing-
ing along. It is not too hard and not too mellow. You can dance to it or
just clap and tap your toes. It’s about reliving great memories while mak-
ing new ones. Front porch rock is about natural rhythm and harmony. It’s
upbeat music for good times.
Since 2010, the Front Porch Rockers have been performing throughout the greater Milwaukee area
(originally as the Teeny Teeny Band). You may have heard them at Summerfest, the Wisconsin State Fair,
the Milwaukee County Zoo, the Milwaukee Domes, The Landing at Hoyt Park, Doc’s on the Fox, Bayshore
Towne Center, Pizzeria Piccola, Waterhouse Foods, the Tosa Famers Market, the South Shore Farmers
Market, or at various private and corporate events.

decade. She also sings with the rock

The Front Porch Rockers delivered numerous great shows for Milwaukee County Parks Traveling Beer Gardens this summer. Their upbeat attitudes and quality music added so much to the community atmosphere in the parks. We will certainly use them again! -Emily Heller, Marketing & Public Relations, Milwaukee County
We hired Front Porch Rockers for an extended gig (11 days!) for our stand at the Wiscon-
sin State Fair. The band was wonderful to work with for booking, set up and performanc-
es, and did a fantastic job entertaining our very varied audience each day. Their catalog
offers a great variety of music that appealed to a wide range of tastes, and they kept the
energy up and interacted terrifically with people over the long haul of the Fair. And they
are really nice people to boot!
