Rock

The People’s Party, a band hailing from Boston, MA, is an eclectic mix of rock, funk, hip hop, jazz, and everything in between, dedicated to spreading love and unity in the celebration of life. The original sound borrows from a wide variety of genres. With rich vocal harmonies reminiscent of Motown and The Beatles, a thick, groove-filled rhythm section that can move from hip hop to acid jazz to rock with ease, infectious songwriting and lyricism, which varies from Paul Simon-esque to a Tribe Called Quest and beyond, a horn section along the order of Tower of Power and The Meters, and jams similar to Phish and The Grateful Dead, the music takes the audience on a wild musical ride.

Different kinds of Rock music, for those "different" kinds of people.

Cardboard Mercenary applies a skankabilly mindset to an indie rock core with a dash of ska and hip-hop thrown in for flavoring.

We are four guys originally from other parts of the world now living in Somerville, who have been playing off and on for 15+ years with various other bands, who started this band specifically to play Porch Fest! Adam Meuse (vocals, guitar), Eli Connarton (guitar), John Lukason (bass, vocals), and Keller McGuinness (drums, vocals) will be playing a set of classic rock and punk cover tunes, sure to be familiar to many!

Signet is Blues/Jam band formed in 2006 from Weymouth MA. Signet is a modern day power trio. For Porchfest we will have our dear friend Gabi on vocals. Come on by and bring your dancing shoes. Crowd Participation mandatory.

Depending on where you're standing/sitting/kneeling/squinting, we might appear to actually be the same height. Same goes for level of talent.

We put this together at the last minute, so you KNOW it's going to be awesome.

The crew may or may not include: Matt Zapp, Casey Fein, Aaron Wishnick, Eric Gibbs, Mark Lemay, Sarah Sherman, and Erin Child (does someone have a tambourine we can borrow?).

Instruments involved may include (but are not limited to): guitars, bass, banjo, tambourine (seriously, anyone?).

Let's do this. (Walk out of your way to hear us at your own risk.)

The Dig probably put it best when it said Look Sharp "plays smart, ambitious rock music, which...takes much of its lyrical content and its driving spirit from the pop culture that helped raise everyone of our generation. The band sounds somewhat like Fugazi if Fugazi was in prog rock drag and they were singing about The Legend of Zelda or X-Men “Days of Future Past.”
