International Play Music on the Front Porch Day

WHAT: “What if for one day everything stopped…and we all just listened to the music?”
In 2018. thousands of musicians from at least 60 countries and over 600 cities participated and the movement continues to grow every day. Musicians from across the globe, regardless of their differences, are finding common ground through music.

Play Music On The Porch Day knows that music is powerful and universal. It doesn’t matter if you play an Oud, a Guitarrón, a Nyckelharpa, or a Guitar. When you pick up your instrument and start to play the world disappears and you get lost in the sounds.
Music goes beyond words. It can transcend the most difficult barriers. It ties us together like a thread through our hearts. Our skin is many colors but music is in our blood, our bones and our soul.

On August 31, the WSU Bluegrass Pickers and Sam Davis Home invites the community to share talents, passions, and music. Together let us show the world the power that music holds. Bring your acoustic instrument and enjoy a great afternoon. All skill levels are encouraged and welcome. It will be a fun time to play or just listen.

WHEN: Saturday, August 31, 1p-4p

WHERE: Historic Sam Davis Home and Plantation, 1399 Sam Davis Rd, Smyrna
