Porchella 2026 — The Reverent Few’s 5th Annual SXSW Porch Party

​Porchella started the way the best Austin traditions do . . . accidentally.Five years ago we swore off SXSW. Then the day before it kicked off, we caved, called a few friends, and threw together a last-minute front-porch show. About 100 people filled the lawn. The music spilled inside​,​ it felt like a lost reel of Austin’s past​,​ back ​to a time when music lived in backyards, garages, and basements. No wristbands or ropes.

Now, it's an annual tradition.

Hosted by ​us, The Reverent Few, Porchella ​w​e turn our Hyde Park front lawn into a no-frills, old-school Austin hang ​e​very year. We literally bring our living room out to the yard, rugs, couch, lamps, chairs. It's BYOB. Picnic-style.​ 15+ artists ​s​inging songs from the porch. No industry . . . just people being people, enjoying music together under the same sky.

Come as you are. Bring what you can. Tip the artists.​ ($25 suggested donation to Venmo @ReverentFew) Buy the​ artist's merch. Share a drink, a dish, a story. Bring a blanket, a chair, a friend, a puppy dog, a baby or come alone and leave with new friends. Be good to the neighbors. Be good to each other. Talk to someone you haven’t met yet.

This is more than music. This is a community. This is Austin.

Everyone is welcome.
