Free Peoples

New Album - Sittin' On A Goldmine - Out NOW!!!

About Me

Free Peoples is a Americana/Rock/Jazz hybrid direct from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their music conjures up images of the wild west, but will take you on a journey to Mars and back before depositing you safely back by your campfire. Through intricate melodies and delicate three part harmonies, they offer up a synthesis of both the old and the new, incorporating styles as diverse as the many paths we all travel. With Free Peoples, musical horizons are ever-expanding.
2005 & 2006 have seen Free Peoples performing farther and wider still, with tours encompassing CA, NV, OR, WA, UT, ID, CO, WY, KS, TX, MS, and NM - including jaw-dropping sets at both the High Sierra Music Festival and Burning Man - and a victory in the 2005 Relix Magazine Jam-Off! With an increasing online prescence, Free Peoples is steadily becoming a band of extreme note, through exceptional song-writing, mindblowing guitar leads, and the highest levels of musicianship and emotion rarely found in today's popular music. Check out archive.org for new live shows soon, browse the website for upcoming tour dates, and tell your friends - Free Peoples is a band on the move and on the rise!
