The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint welcomes back Dakota Jones, a New York-based band whose vintage blues and modern soul blew away the Medford crowd last March. Spearheaded by Tristan Carter-Jones’s commanding vocals and visceral songwriting, their stage show melds the hell-hath-no-fury power of Chaka Khan, the wild spontaneity of Janis Joplin, and the honey-dripping sensuality of Marvin Gaye. Since its inception in 2016, the band has built a loyal following in the New York City  area, and become regulars at some of the city’s most-respected venues. Tickets are $12 through The Porch website/Eventbrite.
