Blues Rock and Roll Jams

Appearing for the 4th time at PorchFest. Classic rock covers, like Tom Petty, Beatles, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads and Byrds. Great harmonies and mean solos!

The Erlenmeyers are a 4-piece, Medford-based rock band. Playing covers and originals that stretch across genres. Reggae, honky tonk, Americana, blues, you name it. We'll rock you out without blowing your ears out.

The "Name Droppings"bring to it quite a collective history.
Dana Colley, whose kids went to Agassiz, is on saxophone. He was in local legends, Morphine. Asa Brebner played for years with "godfather of punk", Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers . Drummer Tim Jackson and Asa were in Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, & with folk legend Tom Rush. John Pfister on bass had played with "Planet Street" & also played with Family Jewels. Charly Leger on mandolin- was in The Unattached & the Fighting Cocks.
Now they humbly bring themselves to the pinnacle of their career: they do a mixture of Bluegrass, rock, punk and jazz and whatever can be cobbled together from such an array of talent

Members of punk/rock band Charles Delta will be playing versions of their hit songs on the porch, joined by Zanois (http://zanois.bandcamp.com) and Violet Intent.

The band came together in the winter of 2013 when Pete and Leesa left their long time groups looking forsomething new. The pair soon enlisted Will and Lisa and every preconceived plan was tossed out the window. Something beyond the sum of the parts started happening and they are still the riding that wave to god knows where. The band is, without a doubt, one to catch live. The dynamism The Easy Reasons bring to the stage will leave you turned on and breathless.
