PorchFest This Saturday, Noon to 6pm!

[wobblymusic.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you've sat on your porch and overheard a neighbor strumming guitar on another porch? Well Porchfest takes this idea and multiplies it by 75. On May 21st, musicians and bands throughout Somerville will celebrate and utilize an underused public venue: The porch. Over 75 acts — ranging from bollywood funk, cosmic americana, killer blues, Moroccan, Balkan, gospel, American space rock and clawhammer banjo — will serenade passersby from porches throughout Somerville.

It's like Open Studios, but with Music instead of other art.

Maps and a list of performers are available at the Somerville Arts Council website.

thanks for posting this! I had intended to but waited too long.

Let's hope the rain ends by then.

My daughter's former daycare is part of Porchfest, from 4-6pm at 66-68 Garrison Ave: Featuring the day
care sing-a-longers, and the school-age kids: a duo on vocals and violin, and a jazz trio.

Also, the kids are holding a Yard Sale from 3-6pm to raise money to build a tree house in the backyard. They'll have so much great stuff! High quality toys and children's equipment, adults' and children's shoes and books, household items. Many items new or in very good condition, including changing table, pad, and cotton covers, Radio Flyer Wooden Rocking Horse. if you're not in the market for yard sale goods, they are also selling lemonade, baked goods, and hand made aprons.
