As you’ve already seen in parts 1 and 2 of our Free Range Music Festival photo coverage, we all had an incredible time in Belfast this weekend. This is the third and final installment of photos, which includes the HillyTown afterparty held at Three Tides. The party was a big success – in fact we were surprised when the venue hit capacity and people couldn’t get in, which we certainly didn’t expect to happen. Thanks again to the Free Range Music Festival, Three Tides, our HillyTown photographers, and Mango Floss and Vistas (who played the party) for an unforgettable time. Photos by Conall O’Brien, Emily Qualey, Chelsea Lauryn Dowd, and Bryan Bruchman. Don’t forget to check out parts one and two for the rest of the festival photos (posts are in roughly chronological order) as well as Brass Cankles for videos from Mike Cunnane (who will forever be on the VIP list – even if one doesn’t exist-from now on).

Michael Hurley, Grass Widow, Jonny Corndawg, Brenda, Audrey Ryan, Time Crisis, Toughcats, Big Blood, Jacob Augustine, Gawler Family Band, Sunset Hearts, CatchaVibe, Broken Water, Mehuman Trio, The Rattlesnakes, Marie Stella, The Milkman’s Union, Ancestral Diet, Dead Man’s Clothes, The 220s, Press Gang, Full Contact Kitty, Tit City, The Spaceys, Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards, Asa Irons, Cave Bears, VoxX, and In Houses in Trees.

We’re sad to share the news that our friends up in Belfast at Roots & Tendrils have made the decision to close their shop at 2 Cross Street at the end of January. Since opening in the Winter of 2009, they’ve done some great work with music and artists, and even launched the Free Range Music Fest (which will happen on April 30 this year). The store was the first location for Portland Pins outside of Portland, and we have definitely appreciated all of their support with that project. They’ll be continuing to be involved in events across Maine and online sales while they look for another, more appropriate physical space for what they are looking to do. We wish them the best of luck, and look forward to seeing what they do in the future. If you can, please stop by and support them during the month of January and stay updated on their work at the R&T site and on Facebook. Read their note after the jump. Read on… Some of the state’s most exciting musical acts are heading up to Belfast, Maine today for the Free Range Music Fest. Get the full schedule for the day here. We’ll see you there! On a rainy Monday morning like this, why not look a head to (possibly) warmer weather and brighter skies, to a day you can spend roaming from venue to venue in Belfast, Maine enjoying the Free Range Music Festival? Performers have been announced for the Saturday, April 24 multi-venue event. Here’s the list: THE JAZZ MANDOLIN PROJECT, David Wax Museum, Brown Bird, Tiger Saw, The Free Seedlings, David Dodson, Mary Anne Driscoll, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Travis Lloyd Band, Wesley Hartley and the Traveling Trees, The Fofers, Luna Madidus, South China, Lazarus, Unbunny, Shawn Mercer and the Boondock Blues Band, Uke of Spaces, Cinder Conk, Good Kids Sprouting Horns, Gully, Caethua, Travis Cyr and the Strings of Calamity, Class Machine, Mahdi Army Orkestars, Calvin and the Free Will Agents, and Rural Electric. Looks like it went in a slightly more folky/acoustic direction than some may have previously expected (with a few exceptions such as Gully and the Class Machine) but altogether it sounds like a great idea not only to give yourself a reason to hang out in Belfast, but to check out 6 venues and 25 bands. Check out their website for more info! Not too many details yet, but they have a poster and a website for the Belfast Free Range Music Festival happening at multiple venues in Belfast, Maine on Saturday, April 24.
