FREE ROCK is a psychedelic rock band based in Boston, Massachusetts. The band's current members are
Jacob Keplinger (guitar), Liz Siegel-Tanaka (bass), Jackson Keplinger (keys), Elliott Eastman (drums/percussion), and Lucien Fournier (drums/guitar).
​
Founded in 2019 in Winchester, Massachusetts, the band released six studio albums with their original lineup of Jacob Keplinger, Liz Siegel, and Justin Siegel (Free Rock, Buford, Gone Wild, New Threads is Dead, Milk, & Northern Terrace) before bringing in Jacob's younger brother Jackson on keys in April 2022. This quartet released another five albums (Free Rock National Park, Dirty Disco, Buford's Revenge, Real Life, & Free Rock II) before Justin left the band a little over a year later in June 2023. However, it didn't take long to fill the position; in August, Elliott Eastman (a longtime friend of Jacob's) made his debut with the group and the new lineup released their first record together in early 2024 titled Free Rock Express. It became the most successful release for the band to date, who extensively supported the record with frequent live appearances throughout 2024. Following the recording of their next album Slices in November, the group expanded once again, adding second drummer and multi-instrumentalist Lucien Fournier to the lineup in January 2025. Shortly after, Free Rock announced Downstairs Rock, their upcoming 14th studio album which was recorded live in front of an audience at Dud's Dungeon over the summer. It is expected to release this winter.
Both Slices and Downstairs Rock will be released via BASEMENT CRAB RECORDS, the label behind Dud's Dungeon and home to other New England artists such as Dowsing Rod, Head of the Meadow, Psycho Tropics, and Tripwire.
