Indie

Gatch is a Boston-based indie artist who specializes in making music you’d want to dance around your kitchen to. From modern-to-throwback R&B-to-yacht rock jams to moody indie bops, Gatch creates a live music experience that is sure to move you (or at least make you move). He has performed numerous sold out shows across the Northeast and tours regularly along the east coast. Matt Burmeister is also a Boston-based Singer-Songwriter (and a frequent collaborator of Gatch). He is a former President of the Northeastern University Songwriting Club, and looks forward to rocking out at Porchfest!

Foam? Spring? Twin? California king? No matter what your preference, Big Jon and the Mattress Factory is here to ease that chronic back pain. The Boston-based rock band specializes in frequencies designed to loosen you up and straighten you out. For the past five years, BJ&TMF has been writing songs that tear into the very hypoallergenic fabric of 60s-70s rock and blues.

The Far Out is a seven-piece band from the north shore of Massachusetts teeming with talented musicians. The lifelong friends are equipped with backgrounds in jazz, theatre, and classical musicianship. They utilize powerful vocals and catchy horn lines to funk up familiar rock, and their chemistry shines through in every performance.

If you like rock/indie artists Tame Impala, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Fleetwood Mac; or rnb/jazz artists like Tom Misch, Emily King, and Hiatus Kaiyote, come check out Birds Already!

Birds Already hails from Plymouth, MA, home to the Mayflower and other disappointing tourist attractions. As there was not much to do in Plymouth during their teenage years, each of the Birds met one another through shared musical endeavors. This will be Birds Already's 4th year of Somerville Porchfest!

The Loft & Boss Organ presents:
4pm: Singer-songwriter Audrey Ryan, an indie rock “one-man-band” multi-instrumentalist, will share the stage with special guest Will Dailey, an acclaimed independent recording and performing artist. His sound has been described as having a rich vintage vibe while having a firm appreciation of AM rock, pop and big hooks.
5pm: Otis Grove is a collective that crosses traditional organ jazz sound with funk, hip-hop, and rock tones. Their music is based in groove and free in improvisation, yet rooted in songwriting and melodic structure. A unique blend of aggressive rock n' roll and high-intensity organ funk that some fans have dubbed their genre 'Runk'

A lone, one-man wizard of an electronic composer who has emerged from nothingness to provide an all-new viewpoint on musical greatness unlike anything one’s ever experienced and/or witnessed.
