Whether you play or just listen.. You're always welcome at the FrontPorch

Our Back Porch Snack Bar is open before and during our free concerts.  All proceeds from the Back Porch
 goes to support and improve the Frontporch.  We are looking forward to yet another great year
 in downtown Mount Ida.  So enjoy a snack and help us keep the tradition of free concerts alive and well. 

When you visit be sure and stop by the Possums Unlimited table where you'll find unusual Possum Products and Fine Apparel. 
 Possums Unlimited is sort of our version of Ducks Unlimited seein's how we ain't got no ducks. 
 It's all in good fun and like the back porch all proceeds go to The Frontporch to help keep the music and fellowship alive in our community.

      You’re invited to enjoy a tradition of music at Mount Ida’s Frontporch.  There are free concerts and jam sessions all summer, right here on the Court House Square.  The free concerts start on the first Saturday in May and run all the way into  October.  The jam sessions go all year long. We move the jam indoors when the weather gets cold.  There’ll be Bluegrass, Gospel and Country plus a lot of fun.
The Frontporch Stage is much more than just a place for music. It is the porch we used to sit on in the evenings when we visited with friends and families back in the Good 'ol Days       

Several musicians in town started out with a dream to make Mount Ida a music center for both musician and listener alike.
Seven years ago it all started with Jam sessions on the Court House Square.   Folks would bring their lawn chairs and come together to play and sing.  They also do a lot of visiting in between songs.  Our Stage is actually a donated flatbed and with donated materials the Frontporch Stage became a reality. As time went on, the crowds grew and six years ago the Saturday night concerts were started.  Bands come from everywhere  to play and have a good time. Folks play on the FrontPorch because it’s fun. We "pass the hat" for donations to help the bands with their expenses.
