The Porchistas started as a bunch of friends writing and singing songs late into summer nights, on their rickety porch on Forest Street in Montclair, New Jersey. That evolved to DIY house concerts and block parties that continue today.

VINCENT DEMMING
Vincent is both the newest Porchista and an original founding member. Vincent starting playing bass way back in elementary school and quickly became one of the best in Essex County, before he could even drive. Vincent's bass lines are subtle, yet wholly impressive and bound to get your body moving.

ALAN "SUCIA" SMITH
Alan "Sucia" Smith, songwriter and guitarist, learned to play music from his neighbor and former Porchista Jeff Ecklund, and was drawn to songwriting. When he's not pushing local music, he might be found building houses out of poo and bamboo in a remote tropical farm town.
