Free Creatures deliver a powerfully welcoming invitation into genre, feeling, and thought. Their Boogaloo Stage set at the last JTMF was electric—transcendent, riotous—and we’re thrilled to have them headline the Indian Cove main stage this May. With loving playfulness as their compass, they navigate the storms of today with joy and grit. Marv Ellis leads with an MPC Live full of original beats and magnetic, rhythmic poetry. Emily Turner counters with siren-like vocals and deep, thunderous grooves on electric upright bass. Skyler Squglio weaves hurricane-force melody on his upside-down, left-handed guitar. Sail with Free Creatures and you may discover a new favorite flavor of love—the pure umami of music.
