Vans Warped Tour has always been known for delivering an amazing array of music which will satisfy everyone’s needs. One of the highlights this year is the Acoustic Basement Stage Presented By Full Sail University. This year you will be able to catch the amazing set by Front Porch Step all summer long.

Front Porch Step is the fantastic acoustic project of Jake McElfresh. His vocals are tender yet powerful and his songs deliver emotionally driven lyrics that grab a hold of your heart and connect to the listener. He is passionate in his songs and you are truly held captive when he sings. He feeds your soul as he takes you on a musical journey through his emotions.  He reminds me of the first time I ever heard Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October and how his songs kidnapped me in my mind. Jake is that beautiful gem that shines through his music and shouldn’t be missed!

We had the opportunity to chat with Jake before his set last week at the Wheatland, CA Warped Tour Date. Get to know Jake more, what he misses when he is out on the road and what you can bring him to cheer  him up!  We are pleased to bring you that interview here:

 

I hope you get a chance to catch Front Port Step this summer on Warped Tour. He is one of the most honest and wonderfully kind-hearted soul and I am honored to have met him.
