The Freecoasters performing in the Gulf Coast Life studio.

We’ll be treated to music performed live in studio by the Southwest Florida-based soul/reggae/rock band The Freecoasters!

Amid the COVID-19 outbreak the band has released its much anticipated second full-length studio album titled, “A Different Kind of Heat.” The album follows the release of their debut album, “Show Up,” in 2016.

We’ll learn more about band members Marc Davis (percussion), Claire Liparulo (lead vocals, guitar), Shane Praefke (organ, piano), Gina Calabrese-Hendershot (vocals) and John Schiller (bass) and their approach to blending musical genres. We’ll hear selections from the new album performed live, and explore how band members are coping amid the ongoing viral pandemic.
