Now that summer’s in full swing, it’s peak season for kicking back on a porch and unwinding with some tunes. While a JBL offers the convenience of portability, it’s a far cry from the rush of live music. Luckily, Fenway Porchfest is happening this weekend on 7/9, offering Boston residents the chance to see performances from local talent right down the street from them. 

This year, Red Shaydez – an active force among Boston’s hip-hop scene – is hosting and curating a show at 401 Park Drive (the building with the Regal Cinemas and Trillium and all that). The lineup features a slew of talent that includes R&B vocalist Eva Davenport, rapper Monaveli, jazz keyboardist Shane Dylan with KAE, The Hip Hop Transformation (a local youth group that equips teens with the means of creating their own music), and International Show. 

Performances are scheduled from noon to 4:30 PM. Find out more info about Fenway Porchfest here. If you plan on being out and about for Fenway Porchfest this year, this show is not one to walk past without stopping in for a bit.
