… let’s keep Porchfest matches firing!Is your band all dressed up, with no place to play?Is your porch lonely, without a single band in your schedule?
- IT’S UP TO YOU, bands, artists, and porch hosts, to secure your place at Porchfest. Use the status field (filter for “looking for a band”, “looking for a porch”, or “looking for an exhibit”) in the search engine. Once you’ve found a potential match , send a message to porch hosts, or bands or artists, to see if you can work something out.
- If you get an enquiry, PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY (even if you can’t respond affirmatively, it’s helpful to acknowledge every query ASAP so that the band, artist, or porch host can keep looking for the right match).
- Once a band or artist and a porch have reached an agreement, it’s up to porch hosts to “close the loop” by updating their listing so that the band or artist is scheduled.
Thanks for making this year’s Arlington Porchfest the best yet!
Is there any way you can notify porches and remind them to respond to their comments? I’ve come across a few where the comments seem to indicate that they’re slots have been filled, but their page still lists them as looking for a band. I’ve also encountered many where there are many comments yet no replies.
Thanks for your comment Gabeeayjo! We sent out a direct reminder to all porch hosts yesterday encouraging them check their listings and respond to inquiries to finalize matches as we approach the deadline. If we can offer any direct support to you as you approach porches, please email info@arlingtonporchfest.org and we’d be more than happy to assist!
