Celebrate Westhaven Porchfest on September 21st, 2024!

Resurrection-A Journey Tribute and Child’s Anthem-The Music of Toto. Both are considered the gold standard in tribute bands!

Join us for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate Westhaven Porchfest. 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 Resurrection – A Journey Tribute and Child’s Anthem – The Music of Toto.
Resurrection – A Journey Tribute is considered ‘The Gold Standard’ by which all Journey tributes are measured, faithfully recreating the experience of a 1980’s Journey concert. This dynamic band has featured some of Nashville’s hottest musicians, many have performed, written, or recorded with the biggest names in the music industry – including Journey and Steve Perry. Every show is a brilliant reproduction of sights and sounds designed to captivate and transport audiences to the glorious age of arena rock when Journey reigned atop the Billboard charts and sold-out arenas across the country.
Child’s Anthem is a collection of some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians and features Westhaven favorites Keith and Janna Landry. The band was heavily influenced by the members of Toto, who were themselves the kings of the LA recording scene in the 70’s and 80’s. “We were always jamming on Toto songs in between takes in the studio. Eventually, we realized we ought to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy this music as much as we do. That’s why Child’s Anthem was formed. Above all, the songs are incredibly fun to play. The response to the band has been very gratifying,” said Keith.
Get your tickets now and secure your spot. Limited tickets are available, so act fast and take advantage of our special early bird pricing. You won’t want to miss this Westhaven favorite!

Resurrection – A Journey Tribute
This dynamic band has featured some of Nashville’s hottest musicians, many whom who have performed, written, or recorded with the biggest names in the music industry – including Journey and Steve Perry. Every show is a brilliant reproduction of sights and sounds designed to captivate and transport audiences to the glorious age of arena rock when Journey reigned atop the Billboard charts and sold out arenas across the country. Resurrection – A Journey Tribute continues to garner worldwide attention and acclaim with high profile performances including, Royal Caribbean International cruises, Fraze Pavilion, AT&T Park: Home of the San Francisco Giants, US Cellular Field: Home of the Chicago White Sox, Hard Rock Casino and Hotel. Fans across the country, including Steve Perry and Journey purists, rave that Resurrection – A Journey Tribute is ultimate Journey experience!

Child’s Anthem is a collection of some of Nashville’s finest studio musicians and features Westhaven favorites Keith and Jana Landry. The band was heavily influenced by the members of Toto, who were themselves the kings of the LA recording scene in the 70’s and 80’s. “We were always jamming on Toto songs in between takes in the studio. Eventually, we realized we ought to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy this music as much as we do. That’s why Child’s Anthem was formed. Above all, the songs are incredibly fun to play. The response to the band has been very gratifying,” said Keith who was a part of Toto for the Hydra tour.
You can’t have a Toto tribute band without someone to sing Bobby Kimball’s demanding lead vocals. Child’s Anthem is fortunate to have Keith Landry on board. He toured and sang with Toto in their prime in the 1980’s. That’s as authentic as it gets! The rest of the band’s passion for the music and technical expertise is equally impressive.
Child’s Anthem brings to life the entire range of Toto’s music – from sweeping ballads to R&B to screaming rock songs. Don’t miss the chance to see them!
