All day music with a purpose was a tremendous success. That is what audiences said about Roselle Park 24/7’s Porchfest part 3. An incredible diverse cross section of style of music and attendees to date included musical performances by – Jarred Paparozzi Quartet, Rodric Shea Bowman, Massimiliano La Falce, and Christina Sophia, Mike Montemurro, Trying Our Best, The Quaranteens, Kyle Cancino and Ryan Marino, Low Highs, Thos Shipley and his trio and comedian opening act by Assemblyman Jon Bramnick.
The generosity of attendees and special donation from Roselle Park 24/7 and another from Assemblyman Jon Bramick resulted in a one-day amount of nearly $2000 for Roselle Park resident Aaron Carr for the purchase of a wearable vest to help him on his road to recovery from his spinal cord injury from a surfing accident.
