The Free State Project (FSP), one of the largest pro-liberty organizations in the country, will be hosting their annual Freedom Festival (aka "PorcFest") in Gilford, New Hampshire June 9-15, to showcase the FSP and NH and to entice thousands to relocate.

PorcFest is in its 5th year and has grown every year. This year's festival will introduce outdoor concerts and begin the shift of PorcFest from an FSP-centric event into a festival that all New Hampshire citizens will enjoy. Live music from local artists will be featured prominently on the highly attended weekend dates of the festival: June 13th and 14th. The featured acts include:

Matt Piaseczny (Gardner, MA). Matt Piaseczny is the former lead man of the bands Strychnine, Point The Finger and LastBreath.

Michael Vincent & Doubleshot. (Gilford, NH). With a sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix all mashed into
one unit, these guys will be playing in their hometown to hundreds of
new fans.

Jordan Doucette (Gardner, MA). The band pulls driving beats, power chords, delicate percussion, compelling melodies, and emotionally
charged lyrics together with a touch of acoustic funk. Jordan draws you in with her sultry voice.

FAMOUS (New York and New Hampshire). FAMOUS lives and plays real, honest, no gimmicks rock and roll. FAMOUS takes their inspiration from
the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Who, Black Sabbath, etc. They meld these influences into an awesome roar of classic yet progressively
unique modern rock with stellar musicianship and songwriting.

Jug (White Mountains, NH). What started as alternative old-timey sound would more aptly be described as folk-punk. Jug is known for their blend of diverse originals and provocative cover interpretations and
high-energy shows.

DREAMLINE (Derry, NH). Their music abilities allow them to create music that is sometimes lush with strings and other times heavy with
riff-laden guitars and pounding bass and drums. Think King Crimson meets Porcupine Tree, meets Hendrix, via Satriani.

Mindset X (New Hampshire). Mindset X is a unique mix of rock, progressive, and metal. Dubbed by many as one of the hardest working bands in the area.

Mill City All Stars (Lowell, MA). Rising from the ashes of the former 5 piece Jazz band, "Kweejeebo" which played around the Lowell, MA area for approximately 5 years. The ensemble includes founding Kweejeebo Members Louis "Sparky" Warsnip (bass), John Normandin (drums), plus new guitarist Gil Feeney.
