Painted Porch
Saturday, May 17 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Painted Porch is an acoustic campfire music group simply playing songs people know and can sing along to. Between tunes there will be some talk about life lessons and music. The name is borrowed from the Stoic heritage as the Stoa Poikile, translated to the Painted Porch, was the spot in ancient Athens where the philosophers of the day would gather and pontificate.
