Porchfest - May 14th, 2022

Updated: May 19, 2022



A day to remember for the Bird Brains. Blessing the rock gods and paying omen to the rock legends that blazed the trail before them, they took the stage with ferocity in tribute to the late great Tom Petty opening with "Mary Janes Last Dance" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

The streets flood with hungry patrons holding an appetite for destruction as the neighbors peek from their porches, brother Big Mike tends the almighty Weber, Xyzbit J pulls unbelievable footage, family fends off swarms for Bird merchandise, all the while a rowdy crowd roars in unison "All Bird, No Brain"! The unbearable heat of the sun is no match for the loud and proud Brains as JC lays down a thick groove, Jake the Rake bounces the brainiums, The Milkman belts to the heavens, and Dr. Drew doses the covey with searing solos over tunes such as "Hotel California" - The Eagles.

The Flock & Roll tour continues onto their next gig with a private party for July 4th as murmurings continue to mount about band rivalry with local 5 piece Jimmy Lazer & The Robots. But a day to remember for the people, and a stone in the road for The Bird Brains as they embark upon a journey that holds no bounds for how high they can fly. Stay tuned! TBC.


Yours Truly,

The Bird Brains
