Front Porch Blues

Front Porch Blues Joe Hastings & Bill Somers where ever we go there will always be good music, good friends & great times! We play the Vero Beach, Sebastian, Fort Pierce. Melbourne, and Cocoa Beach areas. Band for hire to play clubs, restaurants, bars, and private parties!

Front Porch Blues

Traditional blues tunes such as “Key to the Highway”, “Sweet Home Chicago”, “Stormy Monday”, and “Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out”. We'll do some Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney for the beach crowd, and standards from the 60's like “Mustang Sally”, Fire and Rain”, and “Can't Find My Way Home”. Our song selections, styles, and tempos, will keep your feet tappin! The air is fresh, the environment is invigorating, and the tunes are supremely sweet!
