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.

Testimonials

The Front Porch Rockers have engaged audiences at The Landing at Hoyt Park beer garden and TOSA Pool at Hoyt Park for many seasons now. Their professionalism, quality and variety of music entertain guests of all ages. We look forward to their return each summer season! -Kit Slawski, Executive Director, Friends of Hoyt Park & Pool

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!

Thanks so much for your Sunday afternoon show, you were amazing! The

folks on our rooftop patio truly enjoyed your songs, harmony and just over-

all talent --- we will enjoy having you back.
