 “The Freys’ music is joyous, lyrical and uplifting, with a unique blend that seems to combine reggae, newgrass and world beat. It is at once playful, energizing and smoothe, with lyrics and rhythms that seem at once familiar and brand new. Great music to move to, the Freys have created a unique sound that’s a great delight to discover.”
— Nina Simons, Co-Producer, Bioneers Conference and Co-Executive Director, Collective Heritage Institute
