Back Porch Events is dedicated to bringing world-class live entertainment to communities that value connection, quality, and unforgettable experiences. We specialize in producing and presenting high-energy tribute shows that celebrate the greatest music of all time — performed by exceptional artists who know how to engage, entertain, and connect with their audiences.
Our goal is simple: make live music fun, accessible, and memorable. From classic rock and country legends to iconic pop and blues tributes, Back Porch Events curates shows that feel personal, interactive, and exciting — without the high costs or overwhelming scale of large venues.
By pairing outstanding performers with intimate, character-rich theatres, we create nights that audiences talk about long after the final encore. Every show is designed to feel welcoming, professional, and worth coming back to again and again.
There’s nothing quite like experiencing a live music tribute show at the Hanover Civic Theatre.
With just 260 seats and beautifully tiered seating, every performance feels close, personal, and immersive — the kind of intimate theatre experience you simply can’t get in larger venues. You’re never far from the stage, able to feel the emotion of every guitar solo and see every expression on the performers’ faces.
The shows are fun, interactive, and affordable, making world-class entertainment accessible to everyone. It’s a warm, nostalgic step back in time, where incredible bands come alive just a few feet from your seat. Patrons often say there isn’t a bad seat in the house — and they’re right.
A night out in Hanover is easy, welcoming, and stress-free. With simple general seating, easy parking just steps from the entrance, friendly staff who know many patrons by name, and excellent dining options nearby, the entire experience feels both professional and personal.
The theatre’s outstanding acoustics, cozy historic charm, and loyal, energetic audiences create a true “big-show feel in a small-town gem.” Combined with the interactive, crowd-engaging performers our audiences love, every tribute show delivers unforgettable entertainment at a price that makes it easy to come back again and again.
