   About Freehand
Freehand's 1988 album Thinking Out Loud (re-issued in 1997) has received high praise around the globe for its powerful original vocal and instrumental music. During their tenure from 1985-1990 the band played many regional shows performing both Freehand originals and covers by bands such as Happy the Man, King Crimson, Alan Holdsworth, UK and Brand X.
