FARMINGTON
FOUNDERS DAY FESTIVAL
COWLEY AND SON'S
Friday July 17th
No First Friday
On Fourth Weekend!
|
|
Don't forget ... we are NOT
PLAYING at Cowley's for the First Friday of the month.
Go out, have a picnic, blow some stuff up ... and come back
to Cowley's for Free Beer two weekends later for the Farmington
Founders Day Festival. It's one of our favorite
gigs. A nice family fair with a beer tent that closes
at 10 ... then everyone piles into Cowley's. I can
almost guarantee a good time!!

CLEVELAND
ROCKED
Edelfest manifested itself
at Scaplers again this year for Free Beer's annual pilgrimage
to Cleveland, Jim Edelman's Hometown. Someone in
the Edelman clan saw an ad in the paper for T-shirts at
K-Marts ... only $10.00 that say "My Two Favorite Words
are Free Beer". We'd seen them popping up
at gigs last weekend but now there was a whole clan wearing
them! Jim's Grandma, who had never Jim play in
the band showed up ... Jim's cousin filled in on bass
and another cousin filled the space between set one and set
two. It was a great weekend for Free Beer over all and
we can't wait to head out next year!!

"You can't be a real country
unless you have a beer and an airline.
It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear
weapons,
but at the very least you need a beer."
Frank Zappa
THE
FREE BEER STORY
Known in
among audiophiles as "Detroit's Most Persistent
Band," Free Beer has been kicking around the Detroit
music scene since the Summer of 1993. People
have been talking about Free Beer for years. Here's just a
sampling of some of their comments ... "...
a wonderfully bizarre entertainment experience! Classic!"
-- (a former)
METRO TIMES (employee) "...
soooo, you're a five piece?..." (our first booking agent)
"...Free
Beer may be the only band in history to do a selection by
old school Swedish Punk Band The Hives and follow it up with
Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash ..." -- Neil
Rubin, THE DETROIT NEWS "...
so what you're saying is I have to pay for the beer? ..."
-- Our First Confused Fan "
... I said turn off the amps or we are taking you downtown ...
" -- Royal Oak Police on their third stop at the Free
Beer House Party
