Porch Cat is a folk punk duo originally formed in Bellingham, WA, and currently located in Pasco, WA. 

Chan's raw, honest lyrics, unique vocals, and musical saw playing help define the band's sound, while their partner, Emily Awen, brings thoughtful vocal harmonies along with a driving and melodic guitar.

Musically, Chan and Emily first bonded over country, folk, and roots music, while having a shared love of pop punk and indie rock. This combination led to a natural inclination towards folk punk, along With the activism and awareness sewn into their music. Porch Cat quickly became more than just a personal project. The musicians, both queer and both with chronic illness and pain, write and perform with the intention of reaching others who may be struggling in similar ways. By writing about their own experiences, they set out to educate and inspire.

Porch Cat, at its core, is a project that strives to connect with and empower marginalized people through music. They hope to bring their audience an authentic performance full of love and emotion.
