North Star RE Agents is participating in the 2nd Annual Wakefield Porchfest and will host LIVE MUSIC in our parking lot. Restrooms will be available.2:15pm Warthog - a Ramones cover band
Warthog is a Ramones tribute band based in Boston, known for their high-energy performances and dedication to keeping the spirit of the Ramones alive. They aim to deliver an authentic Ramones concert experience. The band consists of David Esposito on guitar and reverb, Jamie Huggins on bass and dance moves, Rick Sanger on drums and management, and Bob Damiano on guitar and keys.
3pm Sonic Bomb - Classic Punk
Sonic Bomb is comprised of Josephine “JoJo” Lyons: Vocals and Rhythm Guitar, Chris "Prendie" Prendergast: Lead Guitar, "BenBen Killer" Bruneau: Bass, Mike "LeFave" Lefebvre: Drums. SONIC BOMB is a musical explosion that is simultaneously abrasive, infectious and joyous. Are they punk? Are they indie rock? Are they metal? The answer is a resounding YES, AND! SONIC BOMB dangerously teeter on the edge of destruction while earnestly clinging to an undeniable pop sensibility buried just below the surface. Witnesses to their cathartic live events claim to be “exhausted just watching them”, but this is no soundtrack for voyeurs! An authentic, sweaty collaboration between artist and audience where the only requirements are earplugs, dancing shoes, an open heart, a full voice and maybe a helmet.
4pm The Long Wait - comprised of five veterans of the Boston music scene. They're not sure how to describe their music other than "heavy". The band consists of Glenn Dudley (vocals- formerly of Wrecking Crew), Mark McKay (drums- formerly of Slapshot), Steve Risteen (guitar-formerly of Slapshot), Jaime Sciarappa (bass- formerly of SSD & Slapshot), and Darryl Shepard (guitar- formerly of Deslock, Slaughter Shack, Slapshot, Roadsaw & currently also in Kind).
Also, enjoy a unique exhibit of photos by legendary rock photographer Henry Diltz on display in our office from 2-5pm. Henry Diltz shot over 250 album covers in the ‘60s and ‘70’s including the iconic Doors’ iconic Morrison Hotel album cover.
Diltz was the official photographer at Woodstock in 1969 and 1999 and his photos have appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, the New York Times as well as a Life Magazine cover of Linda and Paul McCarthy in April 1971. Diltz is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Lucie’s, The Grammy’s, the International Photography Hall of Fame, and is a founding partner in the Morrison Hotel Gallery, which specializes in fine-art rock photography.
