The Anchovies

Born in Somerville and now heading into their third Porchfest, The Anchovies are a five-piece rock band known for turning neighborhood porches into full-on street parties. Their sound blends classic rock fire and bluesy jams with psychedelic textures, heavy riffs, and laid-back reggae grooves, moving from singalong favorites to gritty, high-energy rock moments. With a set that spans their own spin on timeless covers and an original song, The Anchovies bring a warm, loud, and joyfully unpredictable energy that feels right at home in the Somerville music scene.
