The power trio Free Martini is the tiny version of Free Martin and is comprised of Dave Rees (guitar/vocals), Boyce Hartsell (drums) and Dave’s nephew Ryan Green (bass/vocals).
Free Martini plays Classic Rock, 80’s and Jerry Garcia and is known for their great jams and solid musicianship.
Free Martini trio can often be seen at Belching Beaver Oceanside, Aztec, My Yard Live, 1st Street Bar and Peabody’s in Encinitas.
For a trio, the band packs a wallop, and puts its own unique twist on songs by groups like the Kinks, Squeeze, Grateful Dead, Social Distortion, Aerosmith, Eddie Cochran and Johnny Cash.
Free Martinis are a family band (Uncle, nephew and nephew’s childhood friend). Although the drummer and bass player are youthful (21 & 22) they are a powerful rhythm section (having grown up playing together) and play well beyond their years.
