Three years ago, an album by the title 2121 was released and the rest became a journey. The album immediately captivated me, and the thing is... it wasn't an accident that we found it. A. Billi Free was a featured vocalist on the album, so it was no surprise it was getting a spin. What I did not expect was to be completely blown away by the layers of production that backed not only her vocals, but everyone's on that album. Easy enough, we learn that it's The Lasso behind the production, and I immediately started digging through the rest of his discography. Fast forward one year, and we are presented a more focused presentation of what A. Billi could do over his instrumentals, and we were all given the 2022 record, Holy Body Roll. Safe to say, the goal for Midnight Sessions had become to somehow find a way to bring the musicians behind this album to La Frontera to back A. Billi for a live performance. The synths, my God, the synths. The layers of chunky DEEP bass. The hypnotizing effect of all of the keys going on around you, you can't gather yourself. You simply let go, and let the music direct course. It's 2024 now. And we made it happen. And it's everything we imagined it be. THIS, my friends, is what Midnight Sessions is all about. Loving music so damn much that you just want to create, create, and create around it and for it. Nothing more needs to be said. Ladies and gentleman, joined by Deep Greasy and Grayson Nye on the bass and keys, respectively... we present to you: A. BILLI FREE & THE LASSO.
