E-Flat Porch Band is a small band with a big sound, it named for the porch in McKinney where the band first practiced and which resonated to the key of e-flat. Their   music pays homage to our varied Texas musical roots and is influenced by Country Blues, Texas folk music, Jazz and swing standards, and Depression Era country songwriters. 

On the Touring Artist Roster of the Texas Commission on the Arts, they offer workshops and performances for a variety of age groups, including school and library performances. They have been playing together for over 15 years, and have three CDs, Porch Music, Pork Chop Night, and No Unauthorized Play.
