Local music happening in a culture of community generosity.
The ultimate grassroots community music festival where all genres of musicians perform on porches and lawns within the boundaries of the event.
Each porch is scheduled for 1 hour, and musicians play for about 45 minutes. The audience picks their choices from teh schedule and moves from location to location.  Bring your own lawn chair or blanket, munchies and soda pop/water

Local music happening in a culture of community generosity.
PorchFest is an evening of free acoustical music held at free venues throughout Kingfield on a single evening. PorchFest is a chance for neighbors to walk
the dog, stroll the baby, or pack a cool beverage and meander with their honey from home to home enjoying the beauty and talent of our amazing neighborhood, all for free!

In 2015, it’s inaugural year, the Kingfield PorchFest brought 40 local, free, performing musical groups to 25 stages (a.k.a. people’s front porches!) in just one evening. How the event has grown – in 2024 we had out 10 year anniversary doubled those initial numbers – over 50 stages and 80 performers!

Emerald City Music Productions, Inc. is proud to introduce the next Community Christmas Concert Series.

We have excelled in the music industry for decades and are excited to showcase the next CCCS.

The Community Christmas Concert Series is a set of up to 5 free concerts for the audience and the venues during the holiday season. It is our way of being  able to give back to the communities we work and play in.  We seek out small businesses and interesting spaces that might benefit from a little extra marketing boost by having a concert in their work space, during the shopping season.  We work with venues who are friendly, customer and guest focused, kind, have nicely decorated spaces, warmth for the audience, and are open to having music in their shops. The venues can range from grocery stores, to cafes and coffee shops, shopping malls, caves, nurseries/greenhouses, farms, and more. We love out of the ordinary type venues.  If you have a venue or know of a venue that may be struggling or can use some help with getting more customers into the door during the holiday season, please send us the information to emcy.fans@gmail.com and we'll get in touch.  

This year's Community Christmas Concert Series features traditional Christmas songs from around the world and some original tunes by Barb Kronau-Sorensen. Barb is performing on acoustic guitar.

We work with local businesses as advertising sponsors to help support the production and advertising costs.  If you would like to be an advertising sponsors, please send us an email: emcy.sponsors@gmail.com
