The Front Porch Country Band is an American country music band formed in Pennsylvania in 2001.[1] The six members came together from successful solo careers to record and perform as one group. The band includes country music star Johnny Jolin.[2] Their music primarily falls within the country genre with subtle influences of rock and folk.[3] The band’s distinct sound and stage performance is also influenced by the versatility of its performers, with each member playing a variety of instruments and sharing time on lead vocals.[4]
The band first became widely known for garnering more than one million song plays over fifteen months on the internet music subscriber system, MP3.com.[5][6] Following this exposure, the band toured mainland China[7][8] at the exclusive invitation of the US-China Foundation.[9]
The band opened for country superstar Randy Travis at The War Memorial in Trenton, New Jersey on May 10, 2009.[10]
Their latest album, Here We Go Again, was released on September 21, 2009.[11]
The Front Porch Country Band performed the world premiere of their multimedia Christmas production, "Christmas Once Upon A Time," on December 12, 2009 at the Community Arts Center in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.[12] The show was later broadcast on PBS affiliate WVIA-TV on December 25, 2010.[13]
