Welcome to Porch Light Records — Where the strings see what the eyes cannot.

Step onto the front porch of a small Carolina town in the 1930s. Here sits a blind bluesman, fingers dancing across worn parlor guitar strings, playing Piedmont Blues the way it was meant to be heard — raw, intimate, and real.

Every song on Porch Light Records is an original composition capturing the authentic sound of East Coast acoustic blues from the 1920s-1940s. Fingerpicking ragtime patterns, alternating bass, and the kind of playing that made Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, and Rev. Gary Davis legends.

This isn't Delta Blues with heavy slide guitar and dusty highways. This is Piedmont — faster, cleaner, more intricate. This is the sound of a man who taught his fingers to see, playing for neighbors who stop on the sidewalk but whose faces he'll never know.
