Spring is the time of year when the sun finally overtakes the bone-chilling cold of winter in the jostling match for weather dominance. In recognition of this victory, people celebrate the loving embrace of Ra. Free Energy is a band whose sound accommodates the liberty associated with beaches, beers and barbecues.
Windows are forced open by searing guitar riffs and Paul Sprangers’ vocals have a carefree relaxed feeling which allows them to easily enter, yet not easily vacate the mind. Hand-clapping percussions shorten the distance between you and the music, and almost unconsciously the volume is raised while the lyrics seem to be your personal anthem. Break loose from the cold and embrace the free energy at the First Unitarian Church tonight. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut Street, 8pm, $12, All Ages – Michael Colavita
