Porch Couch is taking over with fiddle, banjo and a wildly original spin on old-time music. Rooted in Appalachian tradition but never afraid to break the rules, their sound is colourful, psychedelic and made to move you.

Zeddy was such a brave bear this week and made the trip to the IslandCafeTO all by himself. Think of that — a small little bear navigating the big city all the way to the ferry terminal and onto the boat, just so he could get a front row seat to see Boo play. That’s why he’s our numba 1 fan! Just look how happy he looks!

Zeddy is following the band on the road to all their stops this fall and is dying to meet you there too:

🏠 Cambridge - September 13 Andy Magoffin (House show, tix in bio)
🌊 Kingston - September 25 Toucan Kingston (free show)
🎣 Ottawa - September 26 LIVE! on Elgin with Unsociably High and merlinsband (tix in bio)
