Ten years ago Spirit Family Reunion began the journey of bringing their unrefined and invigorating sound to communities far and wide. Inspired by the social nature of old American music, they packed a 1988 Chevy van with some old-time instruments and a DIY approach and drove south out of Brooklyn. A decade later, their ragged dedication remains with the release of their third full-length album Ride Free. This joins a wider collection of home recordings, songbooks and singles that the band has shared directly with fans over the years, everywhere from living rooms and barns, to well-known festivals like Austin City Limits, Newport Folk, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and Stagecoach.
