Front Porch Jams Gilroy’s annual Porchfest draws relaxed crowds P2

Porch song Gilroy neighborhood music event evokes a simpler time

SEPTEMBER 14, 2018

efore television, before radio, before the hundreds of beguiling distractions that have blessed (and cursed) the American family, there was the front porch.

2

This modest architectural feature of the typical American mid-century home served a distinct purpose. It was the private home’s antechamber to the public world. Particularly on long summer evenings, long before Netflix or Fox News was an option, people would sit in comfortable chairs, perhaps with a cool drink, on their front porches as a way to communicate to others one unspoken message: Yes, I’m at home, but I’m also in the mood to socialize.

It’s an image that’s both quintessentially American yet increasingly antique—someone out for a stroll, stopping to exchange pleasantries with the neighbor sitting on his/ her front porch. Not only did it create and reinforce bonds of community, but porch sitting was a natural inoculation against street crime, vandalism and loitering.

Then came air conditioning and television, and almost overnight the front porch became purely ornamental. We’ve been struggling to connect with those closest to us ever since.

On Sept. 15, there is an event in Gilroy designed to put the front porch back at the center of domestic life—at least for one afternoon.

It’s called Porchfest, and it’s part of a national movement that combines the front porch and live music (another pre-TV entertainment staple) in a simple expression of neighborhood solidarity.

Here’s how it works: From 1-6 pm on Saturday, several homes within a three-block area of west Gilroy will host a number of live musical acts on their front porch.

Each group will play for about an hour, then make room for another group on another porch. For visitors, it’s all free. ➝4

Altogether, there will about 16 bands, groups or individuals taking part on or near Hanna Street between Third and Sixth streets.

Not only is it a free event, as it has been for the four years it has happened in Gilroy, a remarkably un-commercial event. There are no gates, no security personnel, no food trucks. The street will remain open to vehicular traffic. The musicians have never been paid to perform, but in a switch from years past, this year, the musicians will be allowed to hawk their CDs at their performances.

“It’s the same thing as its always been,” said co-event coordinator Barbara Bottini. “The only thing different was how it came together a lot more smoothly and a lot more quickly. We have a lot of repeating musicians and porch hosts who wanted to participate again. They seemed to have really taken this under their wing and were quicker to respond this time.”

For insurance purposes, the organizers had to recruit some sponsors—South Valley Symphony, the Gilroy Downtown Business Association and VFW Post No. 6309. Otherwise, the intent is to keep this modest event as smallscale as possible.

“It certainly jazzes up the neighborhood,” punned Bottini. “The

fact that the porch hosts generally come back year after year tells us we must be doing something right.”

Ed Saucedo lives with his family on Fifth Street, next door to his mother-in-law, former Gilroy mayor Roberta Hughan. He has been a porch host since the event started in 2014. The role, he says, is pretty undemanding.

“You keep a clean porch, you provide access for the musicians to use the restroom, maybe put out some cold water for them, make sure they have power. It’s pretty easy.”

Saucedo has a sizable shady front lawn, which he says can fit about 40 to 50 people comfortably. In past years, he has had an arrangement in which he’ll host one band for an hour, then his neighbor directly across the street brings on a band the next hour, followed by Saucedo again hosting a different band. “People can watch an hour of music on our side. And when it’s over, they just turn their chairs around and watch across the street for another hour. And when that’s done, they turn around their chairs again and they’re all set.”

The neighborhood is in a part of older Gilroy, and Saucedo says that visitors are often curious about his house and other houses in the neighborhood. Porchfest gives them a chance to ask a lot ➝ 6

COMMUNITY FLOW Porchfest is an easy-going event that boasts no need

for security, gates or commercial funding.

of questions about the homes. “It really gets people to talk to each other and ask questions and be friendly. It’s great. You really get that small-town feeling.”

“It’s a nice little event to break the ice and bring the community together,” says Raul Sermeno, a Hanna Street resident who has also provided his front porch since the event’s beginnings. “Not everybody attends. Some people never come out for it. But it has brought out neighbors to greet each other and (strangers) to see who’s in the neighborhood.”

Sermeno and his wife Mercedes have hosted several different kinds of musicians and groups, from a solo singer/songwriter to a full mariachi band. “Oh, it’s all different kinds of music—classical, German polkas, rock ’n’ roll, bluegrass.

One year, we had the Gavilan College Jazz Band.”

The event is fun for the musicians, too, who are drawn from a variety of genres throughout Morgan Hill, Gilroy and San Benito County. “Last year, we were in a driveway,” said Jonathan Bass, who plays bass for the classic-rock group Train Wreck. “But the year before that, we played on a porch that spilled out onto the lawn. The audience is pretty much all over the sidewalk, the front edge of the yard and the driveway.”

At any given moment, there may be two or three groups performing at the same time. But, said Richard Simunic of the group Bluer Than Blue, “if we’re playing at the same time as someone else, they are usually far enough away—not next door, but four or five houses down—that it doesn’t cause problems. They’ve got it all worked out pretty well.”

There has been murmurs that perhaps the event should scale up, close off Hanna Street, expand to other streets, bring in food trucks, charge admission. But the impulse to resist those changes is strong among those who participate. “It’s something that seems to be catching on across the country,” said Simunic, who is originally from Ohio. “It’s really about community spirit.”

“It’s kind of nice this way,” said porch host Ed Saucedo. “I’m glad they do it. No one is trying to cash in on this thing. It’s just something really nice for the neighborhood.”

WINE

OLD VINES Tim Slater of Sarah’s Vineyard has a

secret—clairette blanche, the unknown Rhone.

White grape The oldest of grapes dates back to the 1500s By LAURA NESS

I

Slater is a big fan of Chateauneuf-du-Papes, and clairette is one of their allowed varietals. He first planted it in 2011, mostly to replace marsanne, which he found to be an oxidative pain in the butt. He loves the floral quality of clairette blanche, describing the grape as “very Victorian in style, with dark green on the front face and a whitish backside, giving it an old-fashioned appearance in the cool dusky evening light.”

And now, the wine. Exuding aromas of grilled pineapple, mango and kumquats, it has layer upon layer of juicy Comice pear, pluot, white peach, grapefruit and starfruit. The sorbet-like acidity is utterly refreshing. It finishes like a mango custard creamsicle, complete with that last lick of stick.

t’s no secret that Rhone varietals thrive here in the Santa Clara Valley, and many wineries are highlighting them, including Creekview, LaVie Dansante and Lion Ranch. It’s exciting to see picpoul blanc and cinsault on wine lists.

Tim Slater of Sarah’s Vineyard has a very unusual white Rhone blend called Madonne Blanc. The 2016 is made of 61 percent roussanne, 17 percent grenache blanc, 17 percent clairette blanche and 5 percent picpoul blanc. Never heard of clairette blanche? You’re not alone.

It’s among the oldest of white grapes, dating back to the 1500s. Considered an up and comer in the Rhône and Languedoc regions of France today, it was quite popular in California in the 1800s, but fell out of favor.

The Barragan Family Health Care and Diabetes Center will allow Hazel Hawkins Hospital to better serve community members suffering from the impacts of diabetes-related health issues.

It will provide comprehensive diabetes care for adults ages 18
