Newman says, “Free Born” is the title track off our upcoming EP releasing in the Fall. This is one of the more aggressive tunes I’ve written. I suppose I lend that feel to the circumstances under which the song came to life. I was touring solo across the western US. After hundreds of miles through the desert and a dozen shows in, I jotted the lyrics down in a hotel parking lot somewhere between Phoenix and El Paso. The narrative in the lyric paints a picture of a modern-day outlaw running for his life. It mirrored the harsh conditions that can plague you on the road and a general feeling of freedom while still being haunted by something that lies in dirt and dust of miles left behind. It set the tone for the rest of the EP.”
Elijah Newman & The SideEffects have some festivals coming up this summer and in the fall, including The FEST in Florida, and short-run tours planned in July and August.
