Celebrate 2025 Westhaven Porchfest on September 20!

Join us for a day of fun and festivities in Franklin as we celebrate Westhaven Porchfest 2025. This popular annual event brings friends and neighbors together to celebrate Middle Tennessee’s incredible musical influences while enjoying the beautiful Westhaven community. From free live music around the neighborhood during the day to delicious food and drinks, to the ticketed evening concert, there is something for everyone.

This year’s evening concert features Monsters of Yacht and The Deltaz with special guest Ben Calhoun.

Monsters of Yacht® is America’s premier tribute to the Yacht Rock Genre. This fast-growing band has firmly planted its flag in the look and sound of smooth music from the 1970s to the early 1980s. Monsters of Yacht ® delivers rocking recreations of songs from artists like Christopher Cross, Doobie Brothers, TOTO, Robbie Dupree, Player, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, Gerry Rafferty, Boz Scaggs, Bee Gees and many more. The band also adds additional songs from artists that are not technically “yacht”, yet positively add to the event and experience.

Musicians agree that Yacht Rock music is challenging to accurately recreate live & this band handles it! Ready for smooth sailing?

The Deltaz – Shut the screen door on the back porch and throw another log on the fire of the barbecue. Then go inside, pull out your favorite Deltaz album and throw it on the turntable. Heavy blues, roots rock, classic country and the blood harmony of two brothers will pour out of your stereo.

Brothers John (Vocals, Harmonica, Drums) and Ted Siegel (Vocals, Guitar) spend many of their days perfecting new records at a vintage mobile Airstream studio behind their residence. Ben Calhoun is the frontman of CITIZEN WAY and a solo artist. He is also a children’s book ​author, the founder of General Records, an independent record company, and ​Generosity Rocks, a non-profit fundraising platform for musicians. He also serves as a board member of The Westhaven Foundation.
