Front Porch Step is the solo acoustic project of Newark, Ohio musician Jake "trash can" Mcelfresh.[1]

History

Front Porch Step began in 2012. In 2013, Front Porch Step signed to Pure Noise Records and released his debut album Aware. In 2013, he supported Never Shout Never on four of their tour dates.[2] In the summer of 2014, Front Porch Step played on the Vans Warped Tour. In the fall of 2014, Front Porch Step played on the Pure Noise Records Tour with State Champs, Handguns, and Forever Came Calling.[3] In February and March 2015, Front Porch Step planned to go on his first headlining tour, with support from Have Mercy, Alcoa, and Head North. Due to sexual assault allegations, Mcelfresh has suspended his tour until further notice.[4] Front Porch Step was going to partake in the 2015 Vans Warped Tour, which is held annually throughout the summer, but was removed from the tour due to the allegations brought up against him.[5]

Sexual assault controversies

Jake Mcelfresh has been accused by several young people of sexual harassment through mobile phones, including sending nude pictures of himself to underage girls.[6] This led to a petition demanding he be removed from the 2015 Warped Tour. His record label, Pure Noise Records, and Kevin Lyman, creator of Warped Tour, have announced they are aware of the allegations (Front Porch Step also announced that he is aware of the allegations but has currently still not made a statement).[7][8]

On 4 January 2015 Mcelfresh announced via his Facebook page that he had suspended all current tour dates due to these allegations.

On April 3rd, 2015 Mcelfresh posted on his facebook about the allegations and he is, in fact, still a sexual predator. [9]
