NELSONVILLE, Ohio (WOUB) – Chicago-based Free Range brought a set of indie folk tinged with rock ‘n’ roll to the 2023 Sycamore Sessions.
Free Range’s debut, Practice, was released earlier this year. The record was crafted in the midst of the pandemic by musician Sofia Jensen, recorded with the help of future live bandmate Jack Henry. Henry played drums for Free Range’s Sycamore Session and Bailey Minzenberger played bass.
At the Sycamore Sessions, Free Range performed numerous songs off Practice, plus two unreleased tracks.
