Who is Freeflow? For anyone who’s seen the band perform, the answer is simple: they’re an energetic band that brings people out of their seats with a compelling combination of songs with great hooks and strong vocal harmonies.
A much greater challenge, however, is describing Freeflow’s sound, which features everything from hip-hop and funk to reggae and rock. They have often been compared to bands like The Roots and Sublime yet have nurtured a sound distinctively their own.
“We have six members in the band with very different musical tastes but a lot of common ground. What we try to do is combine the music that feels the best to us. We can’t help but fuse elements.”
Since founding members Jason Evans (vocals), Reece Worth (guitar), Wilson Padmos (keys), Ryan Davis (drums), and Simon Davies (bass) came together in 2001, the band’s music has evolved – something that is more than obvious to anyone who has seen the band live or listened to Freeflow’s two well-received CDs.
In 2005, the band took a major step forward by inviting MC E-Spliff to become a permanent member. E-Spliff, whose roots are buried deep in dancehall and hip-hop, has been a major player in Vancouver’s underground scene for over ten years and adds an abundance of energy to the already vibrant line-up. The dynamic of the band has since blossomed and has encouraged Freeflow to push its sound and live performance to new and exciting levels.
Although FreeFlow has been together for almost six years, and has played great Festivals and venues with world-class luminaries from around the world, the band looks to 2008 with even greater hopes, dreams and aspirations.
