About Us

If it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it, then it’s got to be Free-Range Chickens! They’ll get your checkered Vans jumping to that crazy ‘80’s ska beat with a smidgeon of classic covers just for fun! Featuring songs by Sublime, Reel Big Fish, King Bees, Squirrelnut Zippers, No Doubt, Commander Cody, and Eurythmics; mix in some
favorite artists like Tom Petty, Buffalo Springfield, The Eagles, Edward Sharpe
and the Magnetic Zeros, plus some hopping  originals. 

This incarnation of the Free-Range Chickens is a multigenerational band of eight musicians who love ska and fast music. Three members of the original band have been joined by the next generation in a mix of talent and good looks. You can find our music on Apple Music, Spotify, and other music sites.

Instrumentation includes guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, French horn, trumpet, harmonica, melodica, and kazoo, plus multi-part harmonies.  
In 2025, highlights include playing a birthday party for Fiona Ma, the Treasurer of California, and opening for Dirty Cello.
