Local Favorites Play at Prescott Park Arts Festival’s 2nd Annual Freedom Rocks Festival

June 21, 2007

Portsmouth, NH - Prescott Park Arts Festival continues to expand their music festival line-up and has assembled an impressive group of musicians to fill them this season. First on the list is the 2nd Annual Freedom Rocks Festival sponsored by The Wire. Festival-goers are invited to rock on with local favorites The Soupbone Throne, Museum of Science, Jason Anderson, and The Minus Scale on Saturday, June 30th from Noon to 5 PM. Sunday is a rain date.

Up first, The Soupbone Throne will have you throwing away any pre-conceived misconceptions about Rock/Metal not being able to cohabitate with acoustic instruments. With a genre-defying sound, and dark, mysterious, lyrical content, the band proves that when it comes to their music, they follow no rules. Next up, Museum of Science rips live musicianship with self-sampled electronic loops, spur of the moment improvisation and found sounds to create a dense, intricate but fresh and edgy musical amalgam that blends the best elements of the hip hop, electronic, garage band and funk genres. Then, Jason Anderson preaches the gospel of rock James Brown style and shows us what it means to be alive. Last, but not least, and armed with incredible talent and a stage show that could knock you over, The Minus Scale draws its influences from classic rock, nineties alternative and post millennium retro rock to create a sound that is truly and uniquely their own, and will soon become your own.

Future summer music festivals include Americana (7/7), Jazz (7/15), Folk (7/21), Country (8/4), and Rhythm & Roots (8/11). For more information, visit www.prescottpark.org or call (603) 436-2848.
