Porch-i-oke is an alternative sing-a-long where the front porch meets the karaoke lounge. Porch-i-oke's rootsy acoustic line-up -- accordion, violin, banjo, upright bass, and cowbell -- sings and plays some of the best and worst pop tunes of the past 50 years. Audience members get lyrics and hand percussion so they can sing and play along. When the audience joins in with the band, Porch-i-oke's "micro music" adds up to maximum, memorable fun for all ages. Come howl with us!
