About the Frontporch
|
Several musicians in town started out with a dream to
make Mount Ida a music center for both musician and listener alike.
Ten
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 nine 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.

Friends! Bring your lawnchairs or blankets and enjoy an evening of Free
Music in a great peaceful atmosphere.

instrument and join in.
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
