Porch Pride: A Bluegrass Pride Queer-antine Virtual Festival

Porch Pride: A Bluegrass Pride Queer-antine Festival is a digital festival featuring more than 10 hours of live music over the course of Pride weekend, June 27-28, 2020. Our purpose is to highlight and showcase LGBT+ roots musicians, while also generating financial support for them as they navigate the new non-existent performance landscape, all while providing a gathering space for our community during these isolating times.

Dates: June 27-28, 2020
Start Time: 1:00 PM PDT (see full schedule)
Suggested Donation: $10 per set

What the world needs now is a weekend of great music and an even better community. We didn’t want anyone to miss out on that experience because of their own financial circumstances, so we’re making the whole weekend festival completely free to attend. That means we’re counting on donations from fans, friends, and family like you to help us support musicians in need.

We’re suggesting a $10 donation, but feel free to donate more if you’re enjoying the show! All proceeds including donations made during the festival and through the end of Pride month will be shared evenly between the artists playing the festival and Bluegrass Pride, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. These funds will go towards supporting our ongoing, year-round operations, allowing us to continue hosting paid performance opportunities for artists during these uncertain times, while also investing in long-term resources that will benefit both musicians and fans beyond the pandemic (such as the forthcoming Safe Venue Directory), helping to create a safer, more inclusive bluegrass community for all.
