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."

Silverbacks
Gorillas are ground-dwelling, predominantly herbivorous apes that inhabit the forests of central Africa. Silverbacks are adult male gorillas are known as silverbacks due to the characteristic silver hair on their backs reaching to the hips. They are also a cover band, a power-trio if you will, who likes to play 90's songs you love from the 90's. Although these guys are getting older, they can still rock. If you grew up in the 90's you will probably like what you hear here. Zombies among us may be entering a Midlife Crisis, but we think we are In Bloom, and while we wonder Where Is My Mind, there will be folks like Taylor that aren't Sober, and will be a Passenger home to where they can they Keep On Rockin in the Free World.

Spaces for Two
Spaces For Two began in 2015 when Bob and David met through a posting on Craigslist. Bob had a backlog of songs that he had written but never produced. Luckily for Bob, David had been writing, arranging and recording music for years and they worked up a dozen songs quickly. The original intention was to produce the music and perform as an indie-rock band. Like any project, finding the right members took some time and it wasn’t until 2016 before the band was ready to rock. The first record Gone For The Show captured this side of the band and was met with critical acclaim in early 2017. While the band was in flux, David and Bob produced a handful of tunes without drums and this became Believe released in late 2017. On The Dial was to contain 10 songs and represent a cross section of the previous styles. David and Bob instead decided to release On The Dial as a chronology that documented all songs recorded between 2015 and 2018. When playing live Spaces For Two adjusts their set list, arrangements and instrumentation to fit any venue, whether stripped-down with Bob on acoustic guitar and David on vocals and keys, or as a full-on band. Through the years Spaces For Two has been incredibly fortunate to have many talented members as part of the band, each bringing their own style, influences and collaborative spirit.
