The Porch welcomes the Nashville folk singer, songwriter and storyteller Hugh Trimble for his first Medford appearance. Born in Eastern Europe to American journalists, Trimble lived in four different countries before age 18, but his career as a musician began in Central Park. Inspired by the community of street performers he adopted and adopted him, he began writing and recording songs that paid homage to the rich and revolving cast of characters he fell in and out of love with on the road. His songwriting and style have driven comparisons to the folk and Americana heavyweights of the 1960s, but critics have lauded a voice that reinvents (rather than recalls) the genre. Free admission for the music; table reservations recommended if you plan to have dinner.
