Asbury Park PorchFest
2021-10-02 08:00 | Asbury Park
5th Annual Asbury Park PorchFest
Saturday, October 2, 2021
The AP Homeowners Association’s 5th Annual Porchfest event will be held on Saturday, October 2nd from 1pm-6pm on porches all around town. Local bands and performers will play at the family-friendly, free event, which features musicians from a wide variety of genres. Attendees can stroll from porch to porch and relax on front lawns and sidewalks as they enjoy live, local talent.
PorchFest was founded in Ithaca, NY in September 2007. Over the years, the concept of hosting performances on front porches for an audience that moved from home to home has grown with communities around the U.S. participating. Asbury Park’s passionate connection to music, its beauty and camaraderie, and its beautiful porches make it an ideal town for our own annual event, which is a favorite of locals and visitors alike.
Homeowners around AP have donated the use of their porches and lawns for a safe, fun event, which will follow pandemic protocols as they stand in the fall. Full details will be made available on the FAQ page of the PorchFest website, and a program guide will be available on the day of the event. A map of porches and performers will be posted on https://APPorchfest.org a few days before the event.
PorchFest is completely coordinated by volunteers who believe in the power of music and understand that engagement builds strong communities. You can show your support for local music, the arts, and your community by sponsoring a porch, placing an ad in the event program guide, or by making a donation, which helps the Asbury Park Homeowner’s Association and supports the community. In previous years, donations helped create the mural on City Hall, plant public gardens throughout Asbury Park, and provided music education scholarships for local kids who otherwise could not afford them. Asbury Park PorchFest is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization. Donations are not tax deductible. Those interested in being an event sponsor can reach out to the AP event founder, Jordan Modell, at JordanModell@gmail.com for more information.
Additional details will be posted as they become available, so be sure to check the website at https://APPorchfest.org and follow the organization’s social media accounts:

Lights, Camera, Factions Tour
with support from The Goon Sax
Interpol began in New York in 1997, when guitarist Daniel Kessler recruited bassist Carlos Dengler and singer/guitarist Paul Banks to form a band. In 2002, with Sam Fogarino on drums, the band signed to Matador records and released Turn On The Bright Lights, which made it to 10th position on NME’s list of 2002’s top releases and Pitchfork named it the year’s #1 album. Over the next decade and a half Interpol would go on to wide critical and commercial acclaim, with five subsequent high charting records on the Billboard 200; earning rave reviews across the map from Rolling Stone to TIME; performing on late night television shows and playing major festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury and headlining Mexico’s Corona Capital. The band (Banks, Kessler and Fogarino) have just finished recording their latest studio album with legendary production duo Flood & Moulder, due for release this year through Matador Records.
Spoon’s tenth album, Lucifer on the Sofa, is the band’s purest rock ’n’ roll record to date. Texas-made, it is the first set of songs that the quintet has put to tape in its hometown of Austin in more than a decade. Written and recorded over the last two years – both in and out of lockdown – these songs mark a shift toward something louder, wilder, and more full-color. Halfway through the recording process, the pandemic hit. The studio shutdown, but frontman Britt Daniel continued writing. “There are songs I wrote last spring [of 2020] that I wouldn’t have come up with otherwise,” he says. “It was that first-of-its-kind moment.” Lucifer on the Sofa is the sound of that moment, a record of defiant optimism, the sound of a band cracking things open and letting them spillout onstage. At a time fraught with uncertainty, it’s shutting the door on the devil you know and never looking back.

Andrew McMahon & Dashboard Confessional

Andrew McMahon in The Wilderness & Dashboard Confessional
Hello Gone Days Tour 2022
with Armor for Sleep
Raised on the East Coast and in the Midwest, McMahon began writing songs at age 9, drawing inspiration from singer/songwriter/pianists such as Elton John and Billy Joel. While still in high school, McMahon co-founded an early incarnation of pop-punk band Something Corporate, whose 2002 major-label debut hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart. In 2004, he formed Jack’s Mannequin and then on the cusp of releasing the band’s 2005 debut was diagnosed with leukemia at age 22. Eventually fully recovered, McMahon went on to release two more studio albums with Jack’s Mannequin and established The Dear Jack Foundation, one of the first Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) specific cancer foundations which advocates for and supports initiatives that benefit AYAs diagnosed with cancer. In addition, McMahon composed songs for the NBC series Smash which earned him an Emmy nomination. In 2014, he released Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness which featured the gold certified single “Cecilia and the Satellite.” Last year he released his memoir, Three Pianos. McMahon lives in Los Angeles with his wife of 12 years Kelly and their daughter Cecilia, for whom the hit song was penned.
Dashboard Confessional’s ninth studio album, All The Truth That I Can Tell, is both a remarkable renewal and fortunate step forward for the band’s songwriter, front man, and founder, Chris Carrabba. Having ascended great heights over the past 20 years, Carrabba found himself at a distinct crossroads as the last decade came to an end. Running on fumes, unsure if he’d ever release another album, he waited. The songs eventually came, and though the project might’ve easily come to a screeching halt following a near-fatal motorcycle accident in the summer of 2020, All The Truth That I Can Tell stands among Carrabba’s finest – a strikingly potent musical look at himself through a rediscovered keyhole, both an achievement of vision and a vital burst of artistic clarity; less like reading someone’s diary and more like reading their eyes.
