Porch Fest

Don’t call in a noise complaint over your neighbor’s garage band just yet. The 30 local bands playing Larchmere PorchFest on the front lawns of this east-side neighborhood today have the city’s approval to perform. Festival veterans Oldboy, ShiSho, and Universal Funk Mob will continue their tradition of bringing quality music to the house shows. We The People and Jah Messengers will headline the event that brings the community together for a day of free music, good food and after-parties at local Larchmore bars and restaurants. Whether you’re into jug band folk or high voltage rock bands, this free event has something for everyone. (William Hoffman)
