We are now accepting applications for performers at the City of Suwanee's Summer Porch Jam!

Summer Porch Jam is one of our most unique annual events and a great opportunity to showcase all the local talent that Suwanee has to offer! The event spans several venues (porches) throughout the Old Town area.

Some notes about performing at Summer Porch Jam:

• Solo acts, duos, trios, and full bands are encouraged to apply.
  • Please note that performances with more than 4 people are limited, due to porch sizes, but we still encourage full bands to apply!
• Time slots range from 15 minutes to 1 hour (most performances are 15 or 30 minutes).
  • An application does NOT guarantee a time slot.
• Please note that Summer Porch Jam does not charge for admission, therefore performers are generally not paid to perform at this event.
  • We do, however, offer a small stipend to performers who wish to be paid. Please see the application questions for more details. 
  • All performers are encouraged to set up tipping stations (instrument cases, posted Venmo QR codes, etc.) during their performance.
• All performances must be family- and little ears/eyes-friendly.
• Performers who wish to sell merchandise during and following their performance may do so but should provide their own personnel to manage sales.
