Mary P & the Friendly Friends

Music Genre: 
Band Description: 

Folk, guitar, voice. Succulent, sweet, surprises. Bubbles, hula hoops, chalk.
Petite person, booming vocals that can stop fixies in their tracks.
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 I know it? I'll play it.
*Also, though not specifically geared towards kids, people of all ages tend to listen joyfully. I think you'll like it.

Jim's Big Ego

Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

Google “the greatest band in the history of recorded music”. Jim's Big Ego is still the top hit! Former-villen Jim Infantino (lead vocals & guitar) returns for a 3rd Porchfest, accompanied by Jesse Flack (bass), Dan Cantor (percussion). (Josh Kantor has potential scheduling conflicts). “Kid safe but not kid oriented”.

NOTE: Since we're close enough to the central zone, we're playing earlier to avoid sound conflicts with the bands on Tennyson and Pembroke.
