Paradise and Hurricanes … and an ice storm in Nashville with Brad Rempel of High Valley

From hits like “Grew Up On That”, “Make You Mine”, and “She’s With Me”, the band has collected accolades over the years spanning across not just Canada, but the United States as well.

It's hard to sum up how their friendship's all connected and led them to become roommates and live in an old school house - but they tell us everything in our episode of the podcast.From the drum kit in the living room, to exploring the attic and finding an old box of clothes; to that box of clothes becoming part of their identity.The band recorded their first album right inside the old school house they lived in - that and a number of loud parties involving 300 lbs of old speakers, and a few more antics happened in that house.We had a great time chatting with School House about their musical influences and upbringing, winning Mariposa Music Fest's Artist Showcase and following that up with winning the Boots and Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in 2025.This year, the band has a lot on the go. They just dropped their brand new single "Live While I'm Alive", with their second full length album, Homeland releasing February 27th.You can also catch the band on tour with their pal (and another Front Porch Artist to Watch), Braden Lam this spring!Keep up with all things School House on Instagram and TikTok.- We’re so excited to welcome you back for Season 5 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review, and subscribe ... it’s one of the easiest ways to support the show and helps more listeners find us.Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us On The Front Porch, every other Tuesday.On The Porch with Front Porch Music is a Front Porch Production and is hosted by Logan Miller and Jenna Weishar.

"This Is the Chapter I’ve Been Waiting For” with MacKenzie Porter

Send a textWelcome back for the Season 5 premiere of On The Porch with Front Porch Music! A brand new season, a fresh chapter for the podcast, and an episode that perfectly sets the tone for what’s ahead.We’re kicking things off with a multi-CCMA nominated, back to back Female Artist of the Year, multi-instrumentalist, and 6-time number one at Canadian country radio. With a credit reel like that, we're more than excited to have MacKenzie Porter to kick off Season 5. A Canadian country star, Nashville-based artist, actress, and mom joins us for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about creativity, career evolution, and doing things on your own terms.In this episode, MacKenzie takes us back to her roots in Medicine Hat, Alberta, where growing up in a musical family laid the foundation for everything that followed. From classical training at a young age to chasing big dreams far from home, her story is one built on family support, resilience, and trusting her instincts.We also dive into how motherhood has influenced her career ... not by slowing her down, but by sharpening her focus and creativity. MacKenzie shares what it really looks like to balance family life with touring, recording, and acting, and why she hopes her story encourages other women in the industry to believe they don’t have to choose one or the other.Another highlight of our chat was recounting the insane 2025 that happened for Thelma and James, the band she formed alongside her husband. What started as a spontaneous creative moment turned into a full-fledged project, reminding us that some of the best ideas come when you stop following the rules, or throw them out entirely.We also talk about what’s next for MacKenzie, including new music, an upcoming tour with Luke Combs, and her growing role in the series 9-1-1: Nashville. Follow MacKenzie Porter on TikTok and Instagram. - We’re so excited to welcome you back for Season 5 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review, and subscribe ... it’s one of the easiest ways to support the show and helps more listeners find us.Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join us On The Front Porch, every other Tuesday.On The Porch with Front Porch Music is a Front Porch Production and is hosted by Logan Miller and Jenna Weishar.
