Felix Free & The Rxcketeers:
Free is a Good Soul that raps with integrity! He’s a family man and Truskool MC with honest, clever wordplay, positive energy, and most of all: real HipHop! He is a founding member of the internationally known Luminaries band, and is also known and loved for his contributions and performances with Venice California’s House of Vibes All Stars, and Southern Oregon’s Free Creatures.
Grown in Southern California, Felix Free moved his family from the ‘Hood to the Woods’ of rural New York state seeking space and nature for his wife and children.
In 2023, after a hiatus in performing to focus on family life, Free added a live band to support his music. By connecting with top tier musicians from upstate New York, this move transformed the live show experience. Ashley Ickes on drums, Michael Schuler on bass, and Emmett Scott on keyboards; musicians who had the ears to enhance Free's music in a way that leveled up the energy of the live shows like never before. Felix Free and the Rxcketeers were formed to express how important it is for this music to be shared with the world.
The band has shared the stage with Sugar Hill Gang, AfroMan, The Frank White Experience, Grateful For Biggie, and more. Past and current projects the artists have performed in and alongside include:
Chali 2na, Matisyahu, Free Creatures, Freestyle Fellowship, Myka9, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio, Trevor Hall, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Big Mean Sound Machine, Covet, The Comb Down, The Brothers Nylon, Destiny LaVibe, Blaque Dynamite, and more.
There is nothing quite like the experience of consciously crafted lyrics mixed with the energy of a live backing band. There are very few groups who have that to offer. Felix Free & the Rxcketeers are a cut above the rest who will leave you feeling uplifted, Inspired and waiting in anticipation for the next show!
The Pickle Mafia:
The Pickle Mafia blends jazz fusion with experimental elements to create a live experience that you can only understand by witnessing in person.
Charlie Lindner a.k.a “The Don” holds down chordal harmonic movements while playing melodies on the keys, while Benny “Blanco” Chilbert covers the deep end way down with basslines that cascade and interweave through your mind. Under and over all of that is drum virtuoso Marco “The Italian Drummer” Cirigliano’s grooves and chops to wrap it all up into one giant musical burrito.
Now come take a bite of The Pickle Mafia, and enjoy the show.
