A feature-length music documentary,"The Porchlight Sessions" is a finger pickin' and foot stompin' cinematic adventure through the evolution of the hillbilly sound following the legacy of the patriarch, Bill Monroe. Told through the collective voice of the originators of style to contemporary mainstream acts and campground pickers, the film marks the first time the community has come together to tell the Bluegrass story.

The night will also feature live music by the Steep Canyon Rangers; a band of young souls who play old-time bluegrass music. They are currently the reigning International Bluegrass Music Association Entertainers of the Year alongside comedian, actor, and bluegrass artist Steve Martin. In 2011 the group recorded an album with Martin on which Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks both appear.
