Rachel Marie

Band Description: 

Rachel Marie is a cunning wordsmith, and precociously sophisticated. Clear and mature vocal production colors songs that are relevant, relatable, and far-reaching. The social awareness of folk meets the introspection of the singer-songwriter tradition with a moderate dose of snark.
This Bethlehem, PA native has made regular appearances at Musikfest and at the acclaimed folk venue Godfrey Daniels where she has shared the stage with Antje Duvekot. Beyond her hometown, she has made herself known in North Jersey as a member of the Folk Project and continues to expand her musical horizons.

Anna Snow and Chris Keiffer, Brett West, and Marco Deliso

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Snow and Keiffer combine forces to produce evocative melodies, vocals, and guitar to form their own brand of indie-folk. With influences such a Neko Case, Radiohead, and Neil Young, and drawing comparisons to Cowboy Junkies, the duo draws their audience into a dream-like space, rich with feeling. As a follow-up to their debut EP, Come With Me, in 2015, be on the look-out for their sophomoric album release in winter 2016/2017.

Celebrity Look-Alikes with Six to Midnight and Friends

Band Description: 

Fusing Rock, Funk, Jazz and beyond, Celebrity Look-Alikes generates a dance-fueled experience, launching the listener into a Psychedelic Soundscape. In a case of mistaken identity, the band members were once mauled by a swarm of enthused movie-star fans. Formed in 2014 in Boston, MA, Celebrity Look-Alikes released their debut EP in 2015. Almost a boy-band, the Look-Alikes really just need more vocal harmonies.

Six to Midnight will be opening up for Celebrity Look-Alikes at 4:00PM. If you like weird garage rock cover bands....then you will like S2M. Six to Midnight is....
Whit Hall - Lead Guitar, Vocals

Mary P and the Friendly Friends!

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Folk, guitar, voice, harmonies. Succulent, sweet, surprises. Bubbles, hula hoops, chalk.
Also, a jazzy set with a twist of lemon.
Also, sometimes an 80's sing-a-long song on ukulele thrown in, because we're grown ups and we can do what we want.

Want to hear something? If you request it and we know it? We'll play it.
*Also, though not specifically geared towards kids, people of all ages tend to listen joyfully. We think you'll like it.

Back by popular demand!

The Novel Ideas are a country folk quintet of friends from the great state of Massachusetts.

The following couple years have been spent touring nationally, writing, and recording as a band. Their latest release, St. Paul Sessions, was recorded live in an old church in their hometown.

Coo & Howl and Red Right Hand

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

Coo &amp; Howl (3 - 4 p.m.) is a 5-person band of family members and friends, who have performed since 2010. This close musical partnership has allowed the band to develop a uniquely collaborative writing style--balanced by a tension between influences and styles—and hints at recognizable genres without falling prey to the conventional trappings of any particular one.

Red Right Hand (2 - 2:45 p.m.) singer/songwriter Jess Baggia's latest project explores the grittier, dark underbelly of her musical sensibilities. Think: PJ Harvey meets Patti Smith, all the while maintaining her pop sensibilities through a range of influences - roots, blues and Americana. https://redrighthand.bandcamp.com/
