Due to ongoing air quality concerns, organizers of Carriage Town’s annual Porchfest announced the outdoor event, originally scheduled for July 17, is being postponed to September 19.
However, with dozens of performers prepared to perform on July 17, Jeff Skigh and Derek Dohrman worked together with two local businesses to find indoor stages that will keep everyone safe and also give audiences a chance to still catch some of the artists.
Skigh announced two lineups, one at Queens’ Provisions and one at Arrowhead Vets Club, both in Carriage Town, with performances beginning at 6 p.m. and wrapping up at midnight between the two venues. A third lineup at Good Beans Cafe was later announced by the Carriage Town Neighborhood Association.
The Good Beans lineup includes:
- 6 p.m. – Erik McIntyre and Antoine Thouvenin
- 6:30 p.m. – Bob Sims and Grandpa’s Family Band
- 7 p.m. – – Erik McIntyre and Antoine Thouvenin

Emily Doerr, owner of Queens’ Provisions, said the artists are playing shorter sets but it is a still a way for them to be paid by event organizers and have some stage time. “I give Jeff and Derek all the credit,” Doerr said.
Queens’ Provisions is located at 421 Garland Street and Arrowhead Vets Club is at 402 Water Street.
