The Hello Stranger

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

The Hello Stranger is a recording and performing artist who works in a variety of styles. In some moments he is a futurist-folk singer, writing stripped down songs and bare melodies. At other times he plays a bubbly character channeling energetic funk and soul rhythms. At even other times, he is an introspective computer producer writing intricate electronic prog-pop. The Stranger will happily play in whichever time zone.

Hornography

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Hornography is a brass-fueled pop/rock/dance/funk band based in Somerville, MA.

We perform original arrangements of an eclectic mix of music from the last four decades, including TV themes, film music, and top 40 hits.

Our curiously strong blend of trumpet, saxophone, trombone, melodica, bass guitar, and drums makes us a potent musical force. Kids love dancing to our music, and adults love basking in the glow of nostalgia that floats above us halo-like wherever we go. ​
