The Porch Party Mamas

Inspired by playing and singing each other’s songs at their own "porch parties", these established Boston area musicians and singer/songwriters decided to combine their individual talents and create their own brand of Urban Folk, Country and Blues. They took their act on the road and "Porch Party Mamas" was born. All of them are seasoned players, each with their own pervasive individual music persona and critical accolades. Between them, they have shared the stage with a distinguished litany of artists, including Willie Nelson, the Indigo Girls and Lyle Lovett.

Opening up for The Porch Party Mamas will be local favorites, Seat Of Our Pants. SOOP plays what they call “Acoustic Contemporary Folk”.  They integrate tight vocal harmonies with stylized versions of music not expected from an acoustic band.  They have recently performed at the Podunk Bluegrass Festival and the Glastonbury Apple Festival.

Show starts at 4:00 pm. Tickets are $20 and are available at the Willimantic Food Co-op, 91 Valley Street, Willimantic. All proceeds go directly to the Covenant Soup Kitchen and Emergency Food Pantry. For information call 860-429-4220 or go to www.breadboxfolk.org
