2.10: Porchfest Benicia ♫ Part I of II - Jerry Hayes, Former Benicia Mayor and Steward of Benicia History | Mary Farmar School of Rock Stage

Transactional Love

Welcome back to Transactional Love♡. Wendi and Norma bring you this very special two-part series episode, a story that is near and dear to both of our hearts. Focused on our town, Benicia, California, we have a behind-the-scenes look into Porchfest Benicia 2024, presented by Benicia Magazine.

If you haven't been to a Porchfest, this special event is a local, grassroots live music festival that takes place on home porches, local businesses, and venues throughout the US. Porchfest Benicia, on September 21st, 2024, is a celebration of community and a testament to the power of music to bring our us together. This music festival is unlike any other taking place on the porches of Benicia historic vintage homes. The curated live music also spills into our local businesses, driveways, parking lots, and the charming restaurants that line historic First Street, the heart of our community. This is a free event for all and VIP tickets are also available for an elevated culinary and wine + beer experience (see links below).

For this this first part of the two-episode series, we're sitting down with Jerry and Mary Ellen Hayes who are two stewards of Benicia history and have been dedicated to serving our community alongside their families for six generations and counting. Their charming porch will be one of the stages where we will be able to experience live music. As our former Mayor, Jerry Hayes has also served our town on the Benicia Planning Commission, Benicia City Council and the Benicia Historical Society.

Following this episode, we'll sit down with the Benicia band, The Ex Capitals, who will be gracing this porch with amazing live music as the Mary Farmer School of Rock Stage. We will learn more about their connection to Benicia and a bit of what we can expect to see on September 21st. We're so excited to bring this rich history and story to you. Thank you to our community sponsors who make this incredible event possible. To become a sponsor for 2024 and beyond, visit the Porchfest Benicia website below.
