Back Porch Music

Hear Back Porch Music Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday Night Starting At 8pm

For more than 3 1/2 decades WUNC's Back Porch Music has brought the world of folk and acoustic music to listeners in North Carolina on the radio and around the world via the Internet.

Each week, the program presents a wide range of acoustic-based folk music - from contemporary singer/songwriters to old-time musicians of the 20s and 30s, and from classic Celtic to blues - and beyond. Ticket and CD giveaways are part of the Back Porch mix, too.
