Hi Folks
As a follow up to our November 1 show we released a single from our live show and very soon we plan to release a final Free to Grow album which will include other songs from the show.
This will be the seventh and final Free to Grow album.
A huge thank you to all those who supported us over the last 11+ years.
On to new adventures and Peace and Love to all

Thanks to those who made it out to our Assorted Ruminations album release show!!
We recorded audio and video and also played some even newer material including a song called “I Listen to the Crows.” This song was born after I heard a crow saying “hello” outside the bedroom window earlier in 2025. Working with Amanda, we tweaked it a bit and the band played it for the first time at the show. It is now available as a single on Bandcamp and on our website. Check out the video on YouTube and don't forget to like and subscribe.
Peace and Love

Hi Folks
On Saturday November 1 at 7pm we are having a show to present our 6th album, “Assorted Ruminations.”
It will be held at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre and will include special guests Keegan and the Vandalorians. Early Bird tickets are available until October 15.
See full info on the poster below.
Band merch will be available including our awesome T-shirts designed by Amanda and our catalogue of albums. $5 from every purchase will be donated to The Cancer Society.
We will be recording audio and video during the show so join the fun to be included in music videos and a future Free to Grow movie presentation. This may well be the last opportunity to enjoy the full Free to Grow band experience for at least some time.
We are going to have lots of fun so please join us and thank you for your support.

Hi Folks
A few years ago a former colleague was diagnosed with inoperable / incurable cancer not long after he retired. He passed away shortly thereafter. Greg Watling was highly respected in natural resource management circles and had been the Miramichi Regional Director for Natural Resources. He was a great father, husband and grandfather and a leading member and supporter of the Miramichi Historical Society.

Happy to announce that our new 3-song EP “Lady of the North (and other fine stories)” has dropped as of today (January 3, 2025). A wonderful way to start the new year. You can listen to the tunes on our website, Bandcamp, and the usual wide ranging suite of music sale and streaming platforms.
Please visit our YouTube channel to view the 3 new videos that go with the music. Please don't forget to like and subscribe as it is a great help.

Hi Folks and Happy December Tidings
We plan to start the upcoming New Year with some fun new music. On January 3, 2025 a 3-song EP will be released entitled “ Lady of the North (and other fine stories).” It will be available via our website, Bandcamp, and the usual suite of global music sale and streaming sites.You can also expect some funky videos to be simultaneously released. We have delved into using AI and it has been a fun (ny) exercise.
In 2025 we expect to release a fifth full length studio album which, with our LIVE album, will result in a catalogue of 6 Free to Grow album releases. All original and made with love.
Once again, hoping all is well with everyone and best wishes for the upcoming holiday season and New Year.
Peace and Love
Jeff
Our 2017 End of the World EP has had airplay all over Planet Earth and has charted on internet and terrestrial radio stations in Canada, USA, Europe and South Africa.
It may be near The End of the World but we aren't going anywhere.
Big thanks to all who have supported Free To Grow!!!
