This year will be sure to rock again.

The whole festival has got a really laid back vibe and lot’s lot’s of really good music. All kinds of little cafes, bars and theaters host bands throughout the day and night. You can just bounce around and check whoever you want out. Hillytown, a music blog about indie rock in Maine, released a 2011 Free Range Music Sampler. You can listen to it below.

There are going to be some killer performances this year. The classic Michael Hurley will be there. That alone is reason enough to not miss it. I featured two of his songs in my recent podcast featuring “Hot Day at the Zoo.” But, I think I am most excited about the Rattlesnakes from Portland, Maine. These guys sound really good and I am looking foreword to catching them live. Here are some tunes by the Rattlesnakes.

I want to send a big thank you out to Sarathan Records out of Seattle for tuning me in to the sounds of My Goodness. They are yet another rockin’ band out of the Pacific Northwest. They are offering a free download to get a feel for their sound. The tune is C’mon Doll and is the song featured here. You can download it on the bands website, as well as purchase the full album. You can hear My Goodness performing live from a recording at the KEXP 90.3 Studio in Seattle by clicking here. KEXP is a fantastic radio station and a powerful resource for solid music. Oh, did I mention that C’mon Doll is performed by just two musicians, Guitarist Joel Schneider and drummer Ethan Jacobsen. That’s right. Now that is rockin.

The Free Mike Gordon download features a show played in Minneapolis from their fall tour in 2010. The whole show is pretty good, but the Funky Bitch is bitchin… It has more of a wahish, open airy feeling to the lead guitar riffs and overall a bit more jazzed up then then the version Phish has been busting out for over two decades. Have a listen.
