The Ultimate Porch Party celebrates the residents of Verrado who are building the community one family at a time, and the concert is a welcome to Valley residents who want to celebrate the spirit of community.

Returning to Verrado to open for the Blues Traveler is Ben Deignan, an up-and-coming musician from Atlanta, and Shiner, a popular Valley band.

Blues Traveler was formed as a garage band in 1987 in Princeton, New Jersey. The band gained mainstream popularity in 1994 with their album “Four,” which broke the record for most weeks on the chart, was certified platinum six times over, and included the hits “Hook,” and “Run Around,” an upbeat pop single that won a Grammy. 2007 marks the band’s 20th year together.

Verrado, a development by Scottsdale-based DMB Associates, Inc., is a modern community nestled in the foothills of the White Tank Mountains in Buckeye, Ariz.
