Punk

We are four guys originally from other parts of the world now living in Somerville, who have been playing off and on for 15+ years with various other bands, who started this band specifically to play Porch Fest! Adam Meuse (vocals, guitar), Eli Connarton (bass/vocals), Keller McGuinness (lead guitar, vocals), and Geoff Ramone (drums) will be playing a set of classic rock and punk cover tunes, sure to be familiar to many!

A six piece band of seasoned individuals on a quest to unearth and re-interpret some fun tunes from the world of blues, country, swing, and rock.

Post-punk trio (vocals, guitar, DJ) sometimes backed with a horn section. A Proper Mob plays beat driven original tunes underneath a mad poet of a lyricist. Check it out. We'll be taking turns on the same porch as Die Nacktschnecken (The Snails)... who play an acoustic set of eclectic covers and originals.

Theremin versions of songs that are completely inappropriate for that instrument (mostly punk and new wave classics). We'll throw in a few standards, to keep the audience on their toes.

Note: We expect to perform three identical half-hour sets from 2:00-2:30, 2:45-3:15, and 3:30-4:00.

Queer anarcha-feminist folk, a solo performance with an acoustic guitar and a loud uncompromising voice. A fantastical new genera of folk, honesty and politics I like to call "zine punk". From Berlin/Boston. The crowbar is a tool for deconstruction of toxic ideologies that seem insurmountable to dismantle, like nails trapped in the walls of institutional borders. If only we had the right tool for the job! That's what this crowbar is for.

Attention: THIS PORCH COMES WITH A ZINE DISTRO!

I will play some fast songs, some slow songs, some finger-picking, some angry, optimistic, lovesick, and most likely some broken strings (playing music is intense)

Cover band based in Philadelphia that will have somewhere between one and seven members playing Porchfest! Stop by for lots of acoustic covers and sing-a-longs. Come by and request a song by Mumford and Sons, The Killers, Dave Matthews Band, OAR, Dispatch, Katy Perry, Guster, The Beatles, Angels and Airwaves, U2, Hootie and the Blowfish, Taylor Swift, Peter Gabriel, Gin Blossoms, Kings of Leon, Huey Lewis and the News, Barenaked Ladies, Imagine Dragons, Led Zeppelin, The Black Keys, Chuck Berry, Foo Fighters, Toto, and many more! Drop a message on the Facebook page and I'll even try to learn in time for the show!

Tigerman WOAH has been described as Appalachian mountain folk/bluegrass influenced punk rock with the occasional hip-hop freak-out. http://www.tigermanwoah.com

Combining a deep fascination for the American story song and brutal lyrical prose with a stunningly thematic and innovative soundscape, the Adam Glasseye & INSECT FABLE create music that is hysterical and always intense. http://reverendglasseye.bandcamp.com/album/the-insect-fable

Reminiscent of an era when Clinton was president and the internet was dial-up, the Sookie St. James combine vocal harmonies with guitar, keyboard & catchy beats. https://sookieband.bandcamp.com/releases
