Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Porch Host do?
It’s simple and easy: just help your band get settled and make sure they have electricity (for performing) and water (for drinking). You can do more from there if you want — some hosts invite friends and family and turn it into a party!
Alcohol consumption is at your discretion. Per local laws, any alcohol must be consumed on private property (i.e. not in the street).
I live at [address]. Is my house close enough to the event to host a band?
North Heights runs from Main Street to Jackson Avenue and from 1st Street to Glenview. The center of the event is around E Street and Moffet Avenue. Houses closest to that area will be prioritized.
Even if you’re on the outskirts of that area, sign up anyway! We’ll use your house as long as it won’t make your band too isolated.
When/how will I find out my band and time slot?
Via email by early September at the latest. We’ll send you an email to give you your band’s contact information and vice versa.
Can I host multiple bands?
Yes! Just say so in the signup form. We’ll make sure there’s time between your bands.
Can I request a specific band?
Yes! Let us know in the signup form and we’ll do our best to honor requests. Please know in advance that we haven’t had any luck getting Bruce Springsteen yet.
What is the time commitment?
60-90 minutes per band. Bands play a 45-minute set, and will need a few minutes to set up and take down. You can request specific time slots in the signup form.
