Joey Freedom offers more fun rock and roll on We Gotta All Chill Out album
Worcester’s Joey Freedom is at it again. He strikes punk rock gold on this new album, We Gotta All Chill Out. Writing songs for 55 years tends to make one good at. Taking the time to study what one likes and what works for an individual artist is another luxury Freedom has earned. Working with producer Clintone to bring his lyrical and musical visions to life was a wise choice. Clintone packs plenty of punch, playing all drums, lead guitars, bass guitars and singing all of the background vocals.
Cider Press band delights Halloween costume party goers at Village Trestle
Cider Press band entertained the costumed crowd at the Village Trestle’s annual Halloween party last Saturday night. Aside from a few technical issues that would crop up now and then, the band hit the right vibe for a festive seasonal event. The five piece featured two guitarists and a keyboardist, and that made for a full sounding band. Three of the band members sing, and that made for some good harmonies. Toss in Cider Press’s penchant for variety, playing songs that most cover bands don’t, and it was an evening of good music.

He enjoys his multiple jobs in music and the multi-dimensional aspect of it.
