A folk-soul family band rooted in song, ceremony, and the freedom of the open heart. Tampa-grown, world-traveled, always singing.
What began as Matteo and Katrina harmonizing late nights around the campfire grew into a family of musicians, friends, and fellow travelers who believe music is medicine, prayer, and play all at once.
Today the Freedom Family is a moving collective — anchored by Matteo & Katrina, joined on stage by guest vocalists, instrumentalists, and our own kids when the moment calls for it. Wherever we land, we bring tight harmonies, profound lyricism, and ancient roots.
We've toured festivals and ceremonies, played weddings and listening rooms, woven songs into retreats and Sunday gatherings. Through all of it, the same prayer: that music meets you where you are and reminds you who you are.
A core duo, a circle of regulars, and the little ones who chime in when the song asks.
Singer-songwriter and worship leader. Anchors the band's low end with rich harmony and lyric work that pulls from folk, soul, and gospel traditions.
Lead vocalist and ceremony holder. Her voice carries the high lines, the warmth, and the invitation that turns a show into a gathering.
Our kids sit in when the music is right for them — tambourines, claps, harmonies, dance. They're reason and rhythm both.
A rotating cast of friends — bass, percussion, fiddle, horns. Different rooms call for different sounds, and we travel with people we love.
A few quiet truths that shape every song we make and every room we step into.
Original folk-soul songs with profound lyricism, written to land somewhere tender and stay.
A real family on real stages. The kids are part of it, the village is part of it, the love is part of it.
Festivals, retreats, weddings, intimate gatherings. We meet you where you are and the room becomes a circle.
Hymns, harmonies, songs that feel timeless. We pull from folk, soul, and the traditions that carry us.
Festivals, ceremonies, retreats, weddings, listening rooms — tell us about your space and we'll bring exactly what's needed.
