Perform at Somerville Porchfest, Saturday, May 19
Last year's Porchfest was a great success, so the Somerville Arts Council is planning another one, to be held all over the city on Saturday, May 19.
As the Arts Council describes it: "Perhaps you’ve sat on your porch and overheard a neighbor strumming guitar on another porch? Porchfest takes this idea and multiplies it. This is not a festival per se but rather a community event where Somervillians share their love of playing and listening to music. Think of Somerville Open Studios, which is for visual artists, but for music."
If you'd like to participate and be listed on the official Porchfest map, please go to http://somervilleartscouncil.org/porchfest and follow the three steps listed there. You can perform on your porch, or anyone else's porch that you have permission to use. Last year, some musicians also played on upper-floor balconies, rooftops, and public parks.
