Wedge LIVE!

Uptown Porchfest, aka Wedgestock Music Festival


Listen Later

In this episode we go behind the music with the organizers of the Uptown Porchfest, aka Wedgestock Music Festival. John talks to Lisa Martelly and Amy Goldstein about how they managed to book 29 bands for one day of free musical performances happening on porches, yards, and driveways across the Wedge neighborhood -- and the steps they're taking to make sure nobody's yard gets peed in. We talk about how the idea developed; arranging for portapotties; getting the required city approvals and making sure they aren't breaking any laws; recruiting bands, porches, and sponsors; and how they've been inspired by John's groundbreaking leadership of the Wedge LIVE Cat Tour.

Uptown Porchfest is happening August 19, 2023 from 1 pm - 5 pm in the Wedge neighborhood (which is technically not Uptown). Visit uptownporchfest.com for more information.
