The Gypsy Moths
Garage soul shakers rolling out floor fillers since 2014, the Gypsy Moths released their debut LP (vinyl/CD/streaming) "Alright!" in 2018 on the band’s own “Engine Room Records” imprint, a snapshot of their live set filtered through the lens of the studio, which garnered the attention and airplay of Sirius XM/Underground Garage DJ's Genya Ravan and Rodney Bingenheimer. In 2020, they followed it up with the locally acclaimed "Wollaston Theatre" EP (vinyl/streaming), featuring four singles that charted on over 150 independent streaming and terrestrial radio stations across 18 countries worldwide. The band signed with internationally renowned label Rum Bar Records in early 2022, releasing three indie radio hit singles in the first half of the year and the CD "Following The Races" in June. This is the band's fourth PorchFest Quincy appearance!

Electric Standard
Electric Standard plays rock, blues and soul with the sound, spirit and enthusiasm of the original rock 'n' roll combos. In 2020, Electric Standard released its debut album, Vintage Circuitry to strong reviews. Metronome magazine named it one of their "Top 20 of 2020", citing the group's "savvy songcrafting bolstered by equally sharp musicianship." The band's latest album, Lady Luck & the Grand Vizier, was produced with Bill Mason at Second Story Studios. Released in 2023, the album shows Electric Standard expanding its sonic range to include an even wider range of blues, folk and pop styles. Rebecca Cullen of Stereo Stickman called the album ""[A] fantastic project . . . a faultlessly written and recorded collection, joyful to let play but also profound and powerful when you need it to be."
These Two
In 2014, Jay was playing in a band called The Mumblers, and they were in search of a great singer/front person for a New York gig. After auditioning several singers, it was clear that Melinda blew the competition away! She joined for the gig and stayed on to join the band. Jay had been wanting to find a singer to form a duo and it only seemed natural to ask Melinda. They both shared similar musical tastes, but had enough differences to keep things musically exciting and challenging for both. Melinda's background of singing on cruise ships, weddings, classical voice training and pop/jazz sensibilities, combined with Jay's blues/rock influences make an interesting combo that's not afraid to tackle songs from many different genres.
