Rock

Psst! Hey you! Yeah, you! The one killing time at work and trying to figure out what the hell you're doing this weekend! You're thinking "I could go to Porchfest, but I'd have to slog through a bunch of incredible performances by talented musicians. Sigh." Not this time you don't! Come to 242 Willow Ave and you'll be treated to the stylings of a rotating, rag-tag group of musicians who may be meeting each other for the first time. There'll be meandering reggae jams, 90's classics, radio staples, spirited renditions of Wagon Wheel, and more aided by more alcohol intake than advisable in the early afternoon! You can even sing along if you feel so inclined and/or tipsy enough! You can't lose!

Marck Harmon, the multi-instrumentalist and singer for the new band Ensey Eyes, will be performing acoustic versions of songs from his upcoming debut release CALIGULA. For fans of spacey/fuzzed out spaghetti-western/surf rock and cowboy murder ballads.

Light metal psychadelia

PPP have been playing together in various bands for many years but never as THIS band. Playing a mix of original songs and tasteful yet obscure covers they’re sure to entertain you with their real-time songwriting and improvisational flights of fancy. The point of PorchFest is to have fun and Pickled Porch People invite you to come help them turn this porch into a festival.

The Members:

Dana
Darrell
Donnan
(D)Jamie

Modern rock originals, alt-rock and classic rock covers from a musical collective featuring members of Sumyeti and other up-and-coming local bands.

Blues Rock and Roll Jams

Appearing for the 4th time at PorchFest. Classic rock covers, like Tom Petty, Beatles, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads and Byrds. Great harmonies and mean solos!

The Erlenmeyers are a 4-piece, Medford-based rock band. Playing covers and originals that stretch across genres. Reggae, honky tonk, Americana, blues, you name it. We'll rock you out without blowing your ears out.

The "Name Droppings"bring to it quite a collective history.
Dana Colley, whose kids went to Agassiz, is on saxophone. He was in local legends, Morphine. Asa Brebner played for years with "godfather of punk", Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers . Drummer Tim Jackson and Asa were in Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, & with folk legend Tom Rush. John Pfister on bass had played with "Planet Street" & also played with Family Jewels. Charly Leger on mandolin- was in The Unattached & the Fighting Cocks.
Now they humbly bring themselves to the pinnacle of their career: they do a mixture of Bluegrass, rock, punk and jazz and whatever can be cobbled together from such an array of talent

Members of punk/rock band Charles Delta will be playing versions of their hit songs on the porch, joined by Zanois (http://zanois.bandcamp.com) and Violet Intent.
