Members of the cover band, Philabuster, and other local musical friends will be performing acoustic versions of all your favorites. Come sing and dance along or shout out some requests! Dion and the Belmonts? Beatles? Foo Fighters? Toto? Gin Blossoms? DMB? Taylor Swift? Disney? Nothing is off the table!

Jack Saw is a fun-loving, energetic cover band (and self-acclaimed “super-group”) composed of three UMass Amherst alums: Michael “Staxx” Anagnostakos on drums/vocals; Jared “J DuBois” Marshall on bass/vocals; and Danny “Double D” DiBacco on guitar/vocals. Channeling all your favorite rock/blues/funk/contemporary hits, this power trio will keep you guessing as to what’s next and have you singing & dancing along! 2018 marks the third straight year Jack Slaw infests the kind (if not mildly reluctant) hosts of 86 Liberty Ave’s driveway... And if the past two years are any indication, you will not want to miss the party!!!

Ellen & David like to play music! We play covers from James Taylor to Adele to Bon Iver to Alanis Morissette. We like when people sing along. We hope you enjoy our sweet tunes.

The Group Activity is a Boston-based band that shines light on the changes we would like to see in the world. Our music explores American folk, R&B, and reggae roots in a celebration of life that also acknowledges the problems we see within our lives and the world around us. Ultimately, we seek to unite and rejoice in this beautiful experience called life, together.

Dirigible Ego is a Somerville-based pop band entering its tenth year. Our music draw on influences from Broadway to prog rock, with a heavy grounding in the 1980s alternative rock of our twenties. Our 'porch' is a spacious side yard (you read that correctly: that Somerville rarity!) so we may be able to host a few other musicians. We plan on singing without amplification but there may be a small guitar and keyboard amp along for the ride. If you have an act that needs a home for PorchFest, get in touch and we'll talk about whether we're a good fit.

Two guys who talk about their feelings and play music.

Fish House is a cruise ship jam band.

The Skirts are a spunky, DIY group of folks who wanna get you dancing. We consist of Susanna Kavee, Paige Gulley, and Josie Healy. Come out and groove with us!

Immutable is a Boston-based vocal band that performs an eclectic mix of music, featuring hits from the 60s through the present and some lesser-known songs you're sure to love. We've gone by a few different names, but one thing is immutable, our love of music!
