The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint at River’s Edge welcomes Dwayne Haggins for his first Medford performance.He’s been described as “the love child of Hank Williams and Otis Redding.” “The John Legend of rockabilly.” And even, “the ‘what-took-you-so-long?’ fusion of Elvis Presley and Marvin Gaye.” Haggins’s distinctive sound, which delivers a brand new take on the traditional country-blues and soul that he loves, has generated a rare sense of excitement and possibility throughout the area’s musical community.

Dinner reservations required.
