Performance Date and Time : 
Friday, July 17 5:30 PM

School of Honk is Somerville’s newest street band! It’s an opportunity for anyone, at any age, to learn an instrument, or a rhythm, or some dance moves, or otherwise help us make lively, spontaneous music together. We meet for 2 hours every Sunday to learn something new, revisit the things we’ve learned, help and be helped by each other, and parade around Davis Square! www.schoolofhonk.org

Help Name Us During The Show

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

"Chicken Soda" is our best effort, but we know you can do better!
Anyhoo, we're an Americanaesque band that will blow your medula out of its oblongata!
We're cheating the system and starting at 3:45 - 5, so our neighbors across the way can also scramble egg your brain (musically, that is). Thanks for checking us out! We're on a great dead end street just outside D Square...

lidaBros

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

the lidaBros are Boston's newest and (most likely) youngest Barbershop Quartet!

Not that that's saying much given the demographics of Barbershop Singing. Our band (can we call it that?) consists of four of Boston's most singer-y singers, all four of us having sung many songs in many places. We made our debut at the Greater Boston Vintage Society White Lightning Ball in April, and you can catch a newsreel of the footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iKfI5zXWys

Also we're only 75% bro.

Bringing you old-timey shenanigans, donning ill-fitting straw boaters, and toting around a 1915 Columbia Grafanola, the lidaBros are here to stay, probably!

Ten Penny Ransom

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

We play songs that we know deep in our bones. Jeff, a master craftsman, lays down a righteous groove. Vocalist Justin bares his fundamentalist Southern soul. Bassist McG looks for new frontiers once again. Guitarist Hilton yearns to find the juicy heart in a song. Together, we wander a smoky musical landscape, telling vivid tales of heat, dust, and dreams.
