On a cool early May afternoon, I walked over to Adams Morgan for “Porchfest,” an event where local bands play on neighborhood porches. Throngs of people turned out to hear every kind of music from over 100 bands playing on more than 20 stages. I enjoyed:

  • a Cuban rock band
  • oldsters playing punk surf rock
  • a top-notch blues band playing from a balcony
  • a Latin ensemble led by a singer from Chile and a violinist from the “Republic of Minnesota”
  • and a little bit of everything else

It was great people watching, too
