“May Music Fest”
Organizers of the original Water Hill Music Fest decided to end their run a few years back, but some musicians in the neighborhood maintain the tradition of performing on front porches and in yards and driveways on the first Sunday in May. The Glen Leven Band (2–3 p.m., 411 Fountain) has a repertoire ranging from traditional Irish music to rockabilly, bluegrass, and roots-rock originals. Deep Stream (2–3 p.m., 500 block of Miller) plays straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll. Indie Rock Royalty (3–4 p.m., 500 block of Miller) plays an eclectic mix of covers and originals.

Spark (3:30–4:30 p.m., 611 Hiscock) plays dance-friendly pop and rock covers. She-Bop (4–5 p.m., 500 block of Miller) is girl-group-style ensemble consisting of a guitar, drum, and bass fronted by 3 female vocalists. Slam Duncan (4–5 p.m., 600 block of Robin) plays contemporary jazz. Corndaddy (4:30–5:30 p.m., 611 Hiscock) plays early 70s-style country-rock influenced by bluegrass, power pop, and the British Invasion.
