This Saturday 8/29/26 is also the international event, Play Music On The Porch Day. Play Music on The Porch Day started out as an idea…
“What if for one day everything stopped… And we all just listened to the music?”
Even though this seems like a simple idea, if it worked, it could produce profound results. So in 2014 the founders decided to share this idea with the world and “to our surprise, the idea spread even faster than we could have ever imagined. In 2018 thousands of musicians from at least 70 countries and thousands of cities participated and the movement continues to grow every day. Musicians from across the globe, regardless of their differences, are finding common ground through music. Play Music On The Porch Day knows that music is powerful and universal. It doesn’t matter if you play an Oud, a Guitarrón, a Nyckelharpa, or a Guitar. When you pick up your instrument and start to play the world disappears and you get lost in the sounds. Music goes beyond words. It can transcend the most difficult barriers. It ties us together like a thread through our hearts. Our skin is many colors but music is in our blood, our bones and our soul. Join us on the last Saturday in August as we share our talents, our passions, and our music. Together let us show the world the power that music holds.”
