One Hand Free - One Hand Free (2004)

Southern rock band from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

One Hand Free is everything you want and expect from a real rock band. They are the genuine article. They display the perfect blend of showmanship and sincerity, conjuring notions of both the gutter and the grandiose.

Consisting of Andrew Blowen , Geoff Taylor , Josh DiJoseph and Kelly Bower One Hand Free plays and records in the spirit of the The Band and Stevie Wonder amidst hold solder, rejuvenated Hammond organs and piles of vinyl in their personal audio playpen known as The Mood Tube. They found their determination not to settle for the paint by numbers aesthetic of typical studio logistics spurred on by a cathartic swell of support among European rock revival audiences, sparked by press coverage in the Dutch magazine “Aktueel.”

To say that One Hand Free play rock and roll is to oversimplify. One Hand Free are Rock and Roll. They sweat it, pump it, strut it, beg it, believe it and preach it. When they lay hands on their instruments, they manifest all the glory and grime inherent in the magic of hand rolled original rock and roll.
