FeelFree

           “Bringing a smooth vibe with strong guitar and horn lines, their sound amps up any mood. It warms you up on cold days, transports you to another place and makes you want to groove out. Seeing FeelFree live is a can’t-miss.” (District Fray, July 2021)

  “The beautifully constructed lyrics of “Overdue” speak a difficult truth and will more than likely cause some emotion to stir as you listen. The track is balanced so well with a soft, easy-going sound between the keyboard, bass, trumpet, and trombone, that the emotions won’t fully overtake you” (Rootfire Single Showcase “Overdue” March 2023)

Sounds to help you FeelFree. Formed in 2010 in Alexandria, VA on the outskirts of Washington D.C., award–winning band FeelFree fuses explosive horn lines, tasteful guitar, and honest songwriting for a high energy live show. With no record label support, they have amassed over a million streams on major digital streaming services, independently written and produced three albums with their 2018 LP Define the Free winning a "Wammie" for Washington DC's Best Reggae Album. Pegged as one of Virginia’s bands on-the-rise by Relix Media after selling out multiple shows, FeelFree has played at some of the area’s biggest festivals like FloydFest, LOCKN’, and Jampacked sharing the stage with internationally and nationally touring acts like Steel Pulse, Lettuce, Sister Nancy, Sublime w/ Rome, The Green, The Movement, and more. The band is currently at work on their fourth full length album, having released a five song EP "Overdue" in March of 2023. Catch FeelFree on tour on the east coast of the USA!

The seeds of FeelFree were first planted in 2004 when childhood friends Andrew Pfeiffer (vocals/guitar/trombone) and Evan Hulehan (guitars/vocals/mixing&production) began playing music together while enrolled in George Washington Middle School in Alexandria, VA. Playing backyard parties, open mics and school talent shows all around the DC area, Hulehan and Pfeiffer have been playing live together for the last 20 years, writing songs and producing albums for the last ten. After adding Garrett Clausen (bass/vocals/saxophone/keyboards) in 2010, FeelFree was officially formed. The band immediately began releasing songs on the internet over the course of 2010-2013, resulting in two albums worth of material: In The Hills (2012) and The Ebb Tide EP (2013) and then hit the road touring up and down the east coast. After a few band personnel changes, Kevin Raitz joined the band full-time on drums in 2017 as the band finished up work on their third album Define the Free.
