Free Range Buddhas is a psychedelic rock and roll band with chewy space phaser vibes and a sparkly folk-punk mystique. These qualities are showcased in their latest album "Ritual," released March 25th 2022.
They have a classic vintage feel, embracing some of their more far-out tendencies while cultivating a modern rock sound that is uniquely their own with a folk-punk underbelly that keeps everything driving and pulsating.
The music of Free Range Buddhas pulls folks up out of their chairs and onto the dance floor. They want you to let your freak flag fly and follow the music wherever it takes you!
Front woman, Francesca Jozette, writes songs with an essence of mysticism, raw emotion, and tenderly soulful vulnerability. Her lyrics are clever and catchy, and the band's grooves make you want to boogie. Boogie on friends!

Train Conductor - GEODESIC TOUR
Wind sweeps through the grassy fields in far-out New Mexico. Cacti stand tall against the night sky, yearning for heaven’s tears. And in a solar-powered shack just West of nowhere, Train Conductor are making their next masterpiece.
Though Train Conductor has largely been the solo output of Albuquerque's Will Byrne, the outfit’s newest record, Geodesic, is the result of intentional collaboration. Byrne’s musical life is governed by one rule: there are no rules. Calling friends and collaborators to join him for a new record, the group convenes in a humble desert dwelling to perform these songs live in a desert field.
Grammy award-winning producer and engineer Marc Whitmore guides the group through Byrne’s idiosyncratic songs. The group agrees to capture performances live outside the studio, giving a human feel to the songs. Drummer Eric Lisuasky keeps time, with Whitmore hopping behind the kit from time to time in the spirit of collaboration. Austin Morrell rounds out the rhythm section on bass. Nolan Seidler provides lead guitar, and Michael Gibson plays keyboards. Byrne shares vocal duties with Cati Ambriz and Rayna Torres. The desert wind stops by to add some ambiance to several tracks.
Together, these folks make a sprawling record. Geodesic is like the horizon; we’ve all seen it and yet it speaks to us differently. Geodesic is a mirror, reflecting the big sky and mountains of the American West. And if you listen closely enough, you just might hear yourself in the reflection.
