americana

Cake Street is made up of Anna (Band Manager), and college a cappella friends Emma, Chloe and Danielle (vocals, guitar, and percussion). We mostly cover popular folk music with lots of cool vocal harmonies.

Cake Street was formed when Emma's forever-roommate Abbey accidentally combined the expressions 'easy street' and 'piece of cake', and everyone was like, damn, we should form a band and call it THAT.

Goodbye Sadie is a JP-based folk band made up of two sisters and a friend. Their simple instrumentation and sweet Americana harmonies richly complement evocative lyrics. When not making music, they can be found keeping bees, reading science fiction, and maintaining the delicate coffee:sleep ratio.

The show will also include poetic readings from Jenelle Hayward (MFA, Mills College).

The clever and catchy hit songs of the Baker Thomas Band cover the spectrum of classic rock, funk and groove, with hints of bluegrass and jam band.... so many influences... one big sound. Joining them for their 4th Porchfest will be some surprise musical friends of the band. Guess you'll have to stop by and see who takes the stage!

Bubblegum-folk-punk-pop-Americana

Elvis's attitude, the Everly's harmonies, Carl Perkins's hooks, Bo Diddley's humor, Link Wray's waling solos, LIttle Richard's boundless energy, Sam Cooke's smoothness and behind everything that driving rhythm that makes you get out of your chair to swing and stomp. We like to say we combine all these elements! Four musicians who came together through a common love of early rock and roll, we are inspired by the music of the time of Sun and Chess.

George O'Neill - Lead Guitar and Vocal
Liam - Rhythm Guitar and Vocal
Brick - Drums and Vocal
