Bio
This is Freedom Enterprise, bringing you truth in the form of funk and jazz. Freedom has been together for 3 years and their goal is to be well known, not only for our talents as musicians, but also as a band that delivers messages to their fans. One of their main influences is Jamiroquai, followed by The Police, The Talking Heads, The Grateful Dead, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, Fela Kuti, and too many others to mention. What sets Freedom Enterprise apart from any other band is our musical differences and our blend of genre. We incorporate rock, reggae, funk, jazz, disco, bluegrass, and Jam Band improvisation to make the ultimate cocktail of music. Freedom Enterprise is guaranteed to give fans a show to remember.
