TOMORROW! Yes, that’s right, Westporch is tomorrow! Come walk the village, listen to some highly talented artists, and enjoy the day with your friends and community members. Just follow your ears and discover some new music. A couple of highlights for us are 11 year old Kyla Kane performing with her vocal and guitar teacher Savannah Shea; the sweet sounds of Caribbean music from the Nepean Panharmonic Steel Band; Exit Us rocking the porch; and Riley Kelly holding it down at the North West end of the village.

Oh who are we kidding, we’re jazzed to hear and see everyone. Let’s hope our feet hold up 🤣

Don’t forget to come on by The Cove Inn tonight for Joe Grass Band, and make sure to bring all your 80s gear for tomorrow night’s after party with 80s Enuff.
