The two German street musicians who form Free-Men-Life are a newcomer band and called the new Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson. With their smooth sound mix of pop, folk, reggae, jazz or latin they create an individual style that they describe as “sunshine pop”. But not only in sound, also their instrumentation (cello, acoustic guitar, percussions) and style (always barefooted on stage, indispensable hat from front man Friede…) reveals the individual and nature based style of the band. Their first album “Wonderful life” has excellent critics in the German press and also the following Germany tour was quite positive. With positive songs about life, Free-Men-Life won different prizes and headlined famous bands in Germany.
Their current Single STAY with Singer-Songwriter Jenny Bright was released with an music video in 2016 and was followed by a UK tour who ended up with concerts in Ibiza.

Already their appearance makes it clear, that you can expect something special. With their special instrumentation (acoustic guitar, percussion with cajon and congas, cello, two voices) but also their style (always barefoot, and a straw hat) underline the special sound the band has developed.
The two kindergarten friends Friede (guitar/ukulele/voice) and Simon (Percussion) founded the band in 2012. In 2013 Phyllis joined the band with an excellent cello play and heartwarming voice and completed the band.
The three of them played since then a lot of concerts, however not forgetting their big passion for street music, they still doing. 
After having produced the album Wonderful Life during a whole year on their own, a little tour followed (8 concerts in three weeks). During this tour, the band earned a lot of good criticisms from radio, promoters and the press, calling the music "very harmonic compositions […]” with “[…] sophisticated two-part singing” (Backnanger Tageszeitung).
Additionally, the band won different prizes for their performance.
