A free, all-ages neighborhood music festival.
What this is
For one day, porches, yards, driveways and storefronts become tiny neighborhood stages. There are no tickets, no velvet ropes and no need to be a professional musician. Bring a chair, follow the sound and spend the day discovering music right down the street.
Perform
Do you have a band now, or did you have one years ago and need a reason to get the band back together? Solo players, bands, duos, singers, brass groups, live-mix DJs, acoustic acts and beautifully hard-to-describe projects are all welcome. This is first and foremost a homebrewed music festival.
You can perform from your own Scottdale location or ask to be matched with a host porch, yard or driveway.
Host
Ever wanted backstage access without actually having to haul amplifiers? This is your chance. Hosts lend a workable space and become part of the show. You do not need to be a music expert. You just need a porch, yard, driveway or storefront, a little hospitality and maybe the courage to dust off an old tambourine if the moment calls for it.
Attend
No ticket. No velvet rope. Bring a chair, bring a friend, most importantly, bring good vibes.
