------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FreeVerse is a fusion of progressive psychedelic rock, funk, blues, and jazz that yields one seasoned jam band. They are always pushing forward, rocking with heavy beats and flowing energy. FreeVerse can explore southern fried harmonica-drenched blues to spaced-out dirty funk. Depending on the moment, you never can be sure what they will sound like. This creative energy allows the band to explore new directions every night. Rocking the moment, or the now, is the overall goal of their music.

Right now, FreeVerse is the number one jam band in their area. No one has as much experience, and musicianship or history as FreeVerse. Their stock is currently rising as evident by their national ranking of 22 in the US for jam bands according to Reverbnation. In 2003, FreeVerse was voted "Best New Band" by the readers of the Little Rock Free Press. They were Arkansas Times Musicians Showcase Semifinalists in 2004 and 2005. They were also chosen to participate in the Wakarusa Winter Classic in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2014. In the summer of 2006, they released their first full-length self-titled album. They have finished their follow up to their debut album and it will be released by summer of 2014. With the addition of new musicians, the band has tightened their sound and achieved a funkier rock edge with country blues overtones while surpassing their creative expression of years past.

The band has shared the stage with Victor Wooten, Bernie Worrell, Tom Constanten of Grateful Dead, The Schwag, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Terrapin Flyer, New Monsoon, Particle, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Oteil Burbridge & The Peacemakers, Garaj Mahal, The Big Wu, Col Bruce Hampton, Yonder Mountain String Band, Ekoostik Hookah, David Nelson, George McConnell, Willie Waldman and Rob Wasserman, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Sonny Landreth, Grease Factor, Bonerama, and many other talented musicians. FreeVerse has been featured on “Spotlight On”, an hour-long television program featuring prominent regional musicians and songwriters. They have also performed live at numerous festivals, including headliner or late night spots at Brydfest (3,4,6), US Highberry Blues Festival, Legends of Arkansas, Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, Arkansas Riverfest, Toad Suck Daze, Arkansas Earth Day Festival, The Great Unknown, and Togetherfest.

FreeVerse has an incredibly diverse fan base that is inspiring, pushing the band to new heights. The members of FreeVerse are all about a deep respect for one another, their fans, and the positive influence music has on all of our lives! Their values are best stated in their song Gravity- "plant a seed and grow it from the ground, a family tree is the strongest tree around."
