Free State acoustics

Roots in Fireside Music Jams

Free State Acoustics formed at the Porcupine Freedom Festival (PorcFest) XX in June 2023 during evening fireside jams at the Rebel Civics Compound, entertaining Porcupines who stopped by and hung out upon hearing our live acoustic music. In 2024 we refined our sound, played shows through the summer and fall, recorded and published live music videos. 


Stay tuned for lots more Free State Acoustics in 2025!
