If you would like to be a Troy, Ohio PorchFest musician, please fill out the form below. Your application (and others in your genre) will be submitted to our concert hosts. If a concert host chooses your band, we will connect with you. It all starts with your application.

You don't need to live in the Southwest Historic Neighborhood to perform at the Troy, Ohio PorchFest. We can help, there are places and porches that need musicians! The festival will have 40 concert hosts. These hosts will review the bands that have applied and choose a band based on the information that you provide on the form below. If you can, provide a video of a live performance. This helps the concert hosts see who you are. We can't promise that everyone will get a spot but we are happy that you want to play in Troy and will do our best to present you to the right concert hosts. We will get back with you as soon as we can but this process can take some time. We hope to have all the final decisions made before the end of August. Early applicants have a natural priority.

Tip buckets will be provided at each porch. We were pleased to hear that many of our musicians were happy with their community donations. In addition, the Hayner has made a commitment to recruit sponsors for your concert. Your concert has a Hayner guarantee of $200 to each band that is matched with a concert host.
