Porch Rockers

Led by the guitar-and-harmonica interplay of Mike "Johnny Guitar" Blommer and Steven Michael Jonas, Porch Rockers bring together decades of touring, recording and live-performance experience - including two Arizona Blues Hall of Fame members.

Porch Rockers were born during the pandemic, when Blommer, Jonas and bassist Larry Lee Lerma took to their driveways to play for neighbors looking for a little music and connection. What began as a way to lift spirits grew into a seasoned Tucson blues band known for soulful, energetic performances.

The band may have started in a driveway. The musicians didn't.

Intimate Trio

Guitar, harmonica/vocals and bass. Lower-volume, close-up blues for listening rooms, wineries, restaurants, patios and intimate venues.

Full Four-Piece Band
