13 years of music and community

Saturday, June 20th
10 am – 6 pm

On June 20th, Governors Island will transform into an open-air venue featuring over two hundred folk
bands, artists, and performing arts organizations coming together for one day of collaborative musical
performances, dancing and more.


At Porch Stomp, you’ll hear traditional folk music to old-time, blues, cajun, Irish, bluegrass and Americana
songs celebrated through the synergistic playing of singers and musicians wielding fiddles, banjos,
mandolins, guitars and accordions.


All are welcome to join in the event, which is just a quick ferry ride from lower Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Whether you’re there to sing or play along or simply explore, there’s something for everyone as all parts
of Governors island, from Nolan Park, Colonels Row, and Liggett Terrace, will host activities such as
old-time, bluegrass, and Irish music jams, contra and square dances and much more.

Each “stage” or porch is curated and produced by an arts organization or local venue that supports traditional arts, and will represent a specific folk community in New York City.
Beer and cider will be available for purchase at Threes Brewing, and food and other beverages will be
available for purchase courtesy of Little Eva’s, both located in Liggett Terrace. 2026 partners include Sunny’s Bar, The Jalopy Theater and School of Music, Brooklyn Contra, Cowgirl Seahorse, The Folk
Music Society of New York, Peoples’ Voice Cafe, and others.

Ophelia’s Song live, Red Carpet Photos & More

It has been a very busy October! Lots of live shows in NYC, Barbara’s piano mid-term at Juilliard Extension, an upcoming Halloween show on Twitch, and of course, attending the Chelsea Film Festival as our song “We Are The Strange Ones” is featured in Friends Not Food. We’re trying to post at least one video from every live show this year on YouTube, and you can find the shorts and reels on Tiktok, Instagram and more for the short versions. This week it’s “Ophelia’s Song” live at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn. We had an amzing time playing there. Video and link below. Such a fantastic month!
