The Freeway Jubilee Asheville The Freeway Jubilee independently releases On The Horizon Vol. 1 on November 12. The Freeway Jubilee's evocative blend of gospel-tinged southern rock and hard-driving soulful grooves is met with a flare of psychedelic mountain music and a strong dedication to the craft of the song. Performing live, The Freeway balances well-structured tunes with a jam ethos that lends a raw and explorative power to the music. Their tasteful layering of melodic harmonies, vibrant vocal harmonies, sultry saxophone riffs, and an eclectic assortment of organ/piano arrangements creates a soundscape that is both musically intricate and soulfully energetic. Rest that on the groove of a unique and driving rhythm section, and you are sure to feel the magnetic force of this band. The band consists of a collective of songwriters and formed in Asheville in 2015. The Freeway Jubilee is twin brothers Adam and Jonathan Clayton on keys and guitar, respectively, along with multi instrumentalist Kenny Crowley, blazing bari and tenor saxophonist Hunter Parker, and the John Bonham-style drumming of Cartwright Brandon. “As a hard-working band aiming to make a name for themselves and striving for a sustainable career in the music industry, it tends to feel like you’re constantly working towards goals that are far out on the horizon and hard to reach. It’s a long and challenging road and it can feel never-ending, but something on a deep and meaningful level keeps driving you onward towards those ever illusive landmarks. For us it’s truly the music and the brotherhood that keeps us going. That’s the overarching theme of the album, and songs like ‘In Motion’, ‘Reachin’’, and ‘Humble Song’ speak to that. Combine that with actually being on the road a lot and literally headed towards that horizon on a regular basis, and the fact that we’ve been working on this album so long in striving to capture the real essence of Freeway, this release feels like it’s been ‘On the Horizon’ for a long time. Especially since there’s a Volume 2 yet to come…”
