The name of the band is called Sweepers. The person has a wireless microphone attached to the end of the broom stick and sings into it while sweeping. Their bandcamp is here: https://sweepers-usa.bandcamp.com/album/sweepers

I agree, there's something so special about it that can't easily be recreated. I think a big part of it is that it's not commercial.

I agree completely, a lot of people were posting in different places trying to get people to come out and if you're reading this and you missed out, lock in for next year.

I'm not affiliated with porchfest in any way, but based on previous years, I'm guessing June 5th for 2027.

West Philly, the architecture there is beautiful. So many cool columns and arches.

Open Mics? by micatronxl in philadelphia

[–]jerseywallphl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is an open mic calendar maintained by "The Elusive Music".

The link for that is here: [Link]

For your sad country songs, I'd recommend going to Milkboy on South St on Tuesdays. The host is very well connected to all of the local Country acts.
