On The Porch With Front Porch Music
On The Porch with Front Porch Music is a Canadian country music podcast built around real conversations and genuine connection. Every two weeks, hosts Logan Miller and Jenna Weishar sit down with the artists shaping Canadian country music — from the biggest names in the genre, to rising stars, to the ones you might not have heard of yet (but will soon). It’s less about rapid-fire questions and more about pulling up a chair, slowing down, and talking about the stories behind the songs. The Front Porch has always been a gathering place in country music, and that’s exactly what this podcast is: the digital front porch for the Canadian country music community. Proudly CCMA-nominated and Canadian Podcast Award–nominated, On The Porch celebrates the people, moments, and music that make the Canadian country scene so special. Pull up a seat and join us on the porch.
