A family-friendly brass band that covers classic rock, pop, hip-hop, and country hits from the past four decades.
Though we're scheduled to play from 4-6pm, we'll actually be performing from 12-2pm. Sorry, Porchfest organizers! This was the only porch we could find, and the only time that worked for the band . . .
Catch us from the beginning of the Community Path on the east side of Davis Square - you'll be able to see and hear us while enjoying the sweet perfume of the community garden!
