“Old Tall Buildings is a rock n roll quartet from Syracuse, New York. Pulling from the influences of American and British bands of the 20th century, as well as the improv sensibilities of jazz and blues, we have developed an incendiary sound with a focus in story based writing and rust belt Americana. Old Tall Buildings is: Dave, Tex, Charlie, and Jeff. Old Tall Buildings is not: a jam band (but we love preservatives such as marmalade and jelly).”

Free Whenever’s music sits somewhere in between form (saguna) and formlessness (nirguna).    The band’s guiding philosophy and approach to making music is rooted in the ancient practice of long-form improvisation. By submitting to the collective subconscious, raw feelings, sounds, and ideas emerge.   This practice invites listeners to participate in the same state of mind at any time. It is universal psychedelic music. From morning coffee to long car rides to group or solo outings, Free Whenever’s music is free wherever.    Their self-recorded studio material is balanced and diverse. Hypnotic, conversational bass and guitar melodies float over a strong foundation of pulsating rhythms in a full synesthetic sound experience. Without allegiance to any one style they fuse vintage psychedelia, dub reggae, far eastern and African music, funk, soul, and more while their live shows blossom into areas that challenge the idea of what psychedelic music is.   From their early days playing in the streets of Manhattan to headlining at premier NYC venues like Brooklyn Bowl and opening up for Karina Rykman, Balthvs, and TAUK, the band has become a vital force in NYC and is bringing their vibes to other psychedelic music scenes in the Northeast United States.   Check out their first release of 2025, “Jonas The Shaman”, now available everywhere.
