-David Lipkind on the soulful harmonica. -Peter "Spud" Siegel bringing the bright, driving energy of the mandolin. -Andy Emert on the masterful fiddle. -JT leading the way on guitar and vocals.

The Performance The setlist features the entire Ozark Original journey—all eleven original tracks plus a few deep-cut covers honoring the musical heroes who inspired the project. From foot-stomping rhythms to intimate storytelling, this is a celebration of Americana, folk, and the spirit of the hills.

Join us for an evening of soulful storytelling and high-lonesome harmony as JT Trawick brings his "Front Porch Revival" to The Royal Room in Seattle.

A seasoned performer with over 20 years on the stage, JT blends the raw grit of Ozark Mountain folk with the swinging rhythms of Texas Swing and original Americana. Fresh off the release of his latest live-off-the-floor album, JT’s performance captures the authentic, unvarnished spirit of a back-porch jam session brought to the big stage.

Supporting the revival are two stalwarts of the Pacific Northwest acoustic scene:

Kate Lichtenstein: A staple of the regional old-time community, Kate’s driving fiddle style and mountain-inspired vocals bring a deep sense of tradition and joy to the stage.

Matt Sircely: A world-class mandolinist, songwriter, and founding member of the string-swing ensemble Hot Club Sandwich, Matt’s intricate playing and evocative songwriting have earned him a reputation as one of the finest multi-instrumentalists in the West.Expect a night of original songs, traditional tunes, and the kind of musical chemistry that only happens when three masters of their craft share a stage.

Join us for Front Porch Live, an in-person celebration of Ozark mountain folk songs and stories. Much like the JT’s Front Porch podcast, this live show features two 45-minute sets of original songs, timeless classics, and deep-dive interviews.

Our first featured guest is the legendary Peter "Spud" Siegel. A riverboat captain and Pacific Northwest icon, Spud is a founding member of the BBQ Boys and the Floating Glass Balls. Expect a masterclass in mandolin, pocket trumpet, and more as we share the stories behind the music.

Tickets: $12.00 Advance / $17.50 at the door.
