“Scott Miller was at The Front Porch Friday night, and the show was terrific in every way. Thanks to the Front Porch for bringing this great singer-songwriter back, and for all they do to support music in my town.”

“Alash was OUT OF SIGHT! What a treat-- to listen to such enormously talented singers and musicians from halfway around the world. Their hypnotizing performance transported me to the Central Asian steppes. I brought my high-school students to the show, and several of them said, independently, some version of: "This was the best night of my entire life!" That may sound like teenage hyperbole, but it was a magical night. Thank you, Front Porch!”

“An incredible show, and I raise a glass to the Front Porch for having Alash here in Charlottesville. My jaw dropped during the first song and stayed that way through two sets. A powerful night of music in a room with flawless acoustics. Thanks!”
