Music Column: Spaces to sing and play at the Front Porch Music Festival

Sunday afternoon, Sept. 22, the Longfellow neighborhood will hold its ninth annual Front Porch Music Festival, a neighborly celebration of music-making.

From 2-5:30 p.m., performers of all abilities—novice to professional—hailing from the Longfellow community broadly defined, will play from the front porches or yards of sixteen homes between Clark and Dearborn. Spectators are welcome to stroll the neighborhood to listen, or join the music-making in the “Open Jam.”

Bring a lawn chair and come enjoy the performances of musicians ages 6–80 playing a wide range of styles and traditions, including jazz, blues, EDM, classical, folk, and rock. In keeping with the free-flowing nature of this event, the following lineup is subject to change. Please check the website frontporchmusicfestival.com for the most up-to-date information.

From 2-2:30, catch Every Other Tuesday (918 Dearborn), Kellen O’Cullom, Irish folk songs (515 Oakland), and guitar, dulcimer, cornetti, curtals, and sackbuts on Grant.
