If you google “the greatest band in the history of recorded music”, Jim's Big Ego is still the top hit. Former-villen Jim Infantino (lead vocals & guitar) finally plays Porchfest, accompanied by Jesse Flack (bass), Dan Cantor (percussion), and Josh Kantor (keyboards). Two ~50 minute sets with an intermission. “Kid safe but not kid oriented”.

Black Marmot released its debut album “Run Home” in January of 2010. Since then the band has been delivering infectious folk rock tunes to crowds throughout New England. 2012 welcomed Black Marmot’s second album, “The Everyday Seeker” EP. The record found the band experimenting with ukulele, complicated harmonies, and even the addition of the rare bass VI. In 2015 Black Marmot returned to rock with "Words of Engagement" featuring staples of the band's live shows "Weapons," "The Trip," and "War in the Valley." Check the band out in the first slot of Porchfest outside of Union Square to get rocked in person and pick up a few album copies of your own!

"A specially blended melange of upbeat folk rock rhythms conjured upon a strong, sound framework that gives off an air of authenticity to this local band that is beginning to find their groove, and enter the pantheon of great Boston area music acts." - Music Box Pete
A motley collection of reformed band geeks, San Lorenzo has built a following in their Boston hometown fitting onto tiny stages and collaborating with New England folk legends like The Novel Ideas, Jake Armerding, and Adam Ezra looking to put a twist on the traditional. Their genre-bending debut EP Noble Dust is equal parts americana and King Crimson, rounded out with ethereal harmonies and a trombone or two.
