Free Range Pickin'

Exploring the free range of acoustic string band music, Free Range Pickin' combines the rhythmic punch of newgrass, the melodic drive of traditional old-time instrumentals and the rich textures of contemporary pop rock into a fresh new sound that has found a welcome home in the Upper Midwest's thriving acoustic music scene.

In just a short time the quartet has attracted the attention and admiration of fans, media, and musicians, playing for a wide variety of well-respected festivals and venues, television and radio performances, and film projects. FRP explores a variety of inspired new music and original compositions through its own "popgrass" approach, imaginative arrangements, and "jamgrass" attitude. The traditional instrumentation (mandolin, banjo, guitar and upright bass) and lush four-part harmonies, coupled with the band's eclectic and infective approach to its original music, appeals to die-hard traditionalists as well as fans of contemporary acoustic music.

Free Range Pickin' is applying their rock and roll sensibilities to a whole new appreciation of original acoustic music and is quickly endearing itself to a new, young audience that "didn't know they liked bluegrass." In short, Free Range Pickin' is helping to write the next chapter of acoustic music in America. We invite you to be a part of the excitement... www.freerangepickin.com!
