Bio
Freezone started in a rented house on 21st and Wells. The house is no longer there - - but the memories are strong, spinning original vinyls of inspirations named Toots, Tosh, Cliff, Dekker, Burning Spear, and of course, Bob Marley. The Freezone struck a nerve throughout the neighborhood, and became busy with local gigs, block parties, and festivals. The mood of a Freezone show is decidedly upbeat for some reggae dancing, with a solid groove for those who prefer to bop their heads and listen. The set list has also evolved to include some jazz and funk to round it all out.
Ultimately the members of the Freezone followed their individual muses and dispersed across the globe, but they now perform annual reunion shows at festivals and clubs each summer in the Milwaukee and Chicago area. Expect them to return for some big fun July 23-26, 2009!
