The Steve Madden Music summer series continues! In June, we brought you the US debut of Katy B, followed by an intimate performance by Grammy-nominated soulstress, Melanie Fiona, in July. This month brings another hot talent, FreeSol, straight from Memphis with their debut album just about to drop on Justin Timberlake's Tennman Records label.
FreeSol is a progressive and unique hip-hop, rock and soul infused band from Memphis, Tennessee. They started in 2003 when the lead singer/rapper, Free, decided to move beyond the basic hip-hop formula of "two turntables and a microphone" and formed an actual band with the addition of E Ives on guitar/vocals, Premo D'Anger on the keyboard and Kickman Teddy on the drums. Growing up surrounded by the rich musical landscape embedded in Memphis' history, FreeSol is naturally influenced by a variety of sounds from blues to rock to hip-hop.
