 TIM EASTON AND THE FREELAN 

BARONS RELEASE “BEAT THE BAND” 

 

Album independently released by CAMPFIRE PROPAGANDA

 

 

Tim Easton is the consummate traveling folksinger. From his Ohio roots through stretches in Paris and Prague, Tim grew his credentials with stints in NYC and LA, leading to his latest encampment in the high desert country outside of Joshua Tree, California. His continuous adventures are evident in the songs on his latest album, BEAT THE BAND, an independent release from Easton’s own label, CAMPFIRE PROPAGANDA. 

 

Easton’s craftsmanship shines fully on BEAT THE BAND – one foot standing firmly in the history of American folk music, while the other strides deftly into lush pop harmonies and song constructions. The effect propels listeners from the melancholic soul searching of a night where Nobody Plays Piano in Athens, Georgia, to the redemption and hope stirring through the protagonist of Daily Life.

 

"This is a unique batch of songs – not just everyday stories," says Easton. "Some of these lyrics are brand new, some of them I’ve carried with me for the better part of 10 years."

 

The bristle of Porcupine, Easton’s prior release (New West, 2009), is still present in BEAT THE BAND, but it has gained the polish and shine that come only with a band that has developed a strong collaborative rapport. The songs were worked over prior to entering the studio by The Freelan Barons – Mark Stepro (drums, Ben Kweller), Aaron Lee Tasjan (guitar & piano, Madison Square Gardeners) and Alex Livingstone (bass, Grand Champeen) – and further evolve the already deep catalog of a well-traveled troubadour and his band of rock & roller.
