About Us - above here put tear drop with this photo

Matteo and Katrina Lilly of The Freedom Family Band are incredible musicians, song weavers, and community leaders. Their music touches hearts and their mission is rooted in integrity and generosity.

The space they hold is refreshingly authentic and profoundly special. Their raw humanness weaves so beautifully with their ancient souls and celestial sounds. Their style is centered around profound lyricism, tight vocal harmonies, and inspired musical flow. They defy genre and embody something so ancient and special that it can’t quite be labeled.

They have empowered and mentored thousands of aspiring musicians both indirectly and directly through their one music program, 1:1 coaching work, inspiring prayerformances and song circles, internationally distributed music, and the last 7 Free The Music Gatherings.

It’s truly their life’s work to inspire all people to express their music, art, and creative flow. They foster belonging and cultivate spirit. You can see the hand of God working in their lives and the medicine they carry is contagious in all the best ways.
