Based in southern California, FourWayFree was formed in 2001 by Genji Nakano, the lead singer and songwriter, and "Boody", the drummer. They invited a few other musicians to turn Genji's quirky and catchy songs into something special and over the next few years FourWayFree somehow survived the various pitfalls and band member losses that destroy fledgling bands. In 2005 they released 'Trees To Climb On', a compilation of live tracks and studio recordings, four of which were produced by Don Gehman (John Mellencamp, Tracy Chapman, Hootie & The Blowfish). Joined by Bay Area locals Jeff Nunes on electric guitar for their first national tour in '05 and Cameron Scott on bass/electric guitar in '08, FourWayFree self-produced their second album titled 'Deeper' and followed that with '�The Studio13 Session'. FourWayFree has frequent guests onstage, often Genji's cousin Steve Nakano (who lead his own jazz quintet) or USC's own Lil Sum'n Sum'ns� on horns as well as other versatile musicians. In May 2011 the band released 'The 411 EP'�, now available on iTunes, and with recent addition Neil Randazzo on bass FourWayFree is more fired up than ever.

Split between southern and northern California, FourWayFree plays frequent shows throughout the state when not on tour, recently at the California State Fair, the House Of Blues in Los Angeles and San Diego, The Troubadour, The Roxy, The Key Club, and even a few times at The Playboy Mansion, as well as appearances on Sacramento's morning news show and various radio performances and interviews. The band's music is available on iTunes and sold on the road as they tirelessly continue to cross the country to hopefully/inevitably sign with a label or catch the ear of the right person willing to give them their next big push forward.
