I was also surprised over the lack of Porchfest band announcements on
BBU - so here's mine:


Somerville PorchFest is on for Saturday, today !!!

The official website has been updated.

No rain! No rain! No rain!


The Heather Mumford Project, will be playing at Somerville Porchfest!

We are an exciting collaborative, led by Heather Mumford on vocals, uke
and fiddle. Their music is a beautiful Americana harmony of Country,
Bluegrass, Folk and Blues. Come for an inspiring hour of pickin’,
grinnin’, and heartfelt roots music.

37 Stone Ave., a block from Union Square.
5-6pm
Hope to see you there!

Jeff,

Use the search function on their website
https://porchfest.somervilleartscouncil.org/

No groups identify themselves as Old Time,

7 say they are Bluegrass (at least one of which is probably at least part Old Time)
of course some people say Bruce Springsteen is Bluegrass...

My buddies have an old time band playing there. Look for Timber Timbre, at 87 highland road, 2-4pm. They will have an old time jam afterwards.  Also look for the Ben and Ruth band, also old time.

Have fun.

I did post something on the BBU Facebook page. Not all performers marked their genre as "Bluegrass" or "Old Time" and not all that marked them as bluegrass were bluegrass. There was a fair number of "Americana", maybe one I knew was bluegrass adjacent(yours) and one was marked "World" so I missed it completely. So it goes...

I am trying to get in touch with Paul Murray. He used to run the bluegrass jam at the Stagecoach in in Groton.
