FREER FORWARD 👉🏾🌎 SUPPORT OUR NEXT PROJECT 🙏🏾

Studio C209: Born in a Prison Cell by

Studio C209 is exactly what it sounds like. Every song on this album was written, composed, and recorded inside a prison cell.

Mike Tenneson plays three different instruments. He's an incredible songwriter, composer, and a great visual artist as well. 🎨

A little FREER lore: After we released Territorial’s album Tlaxihuqui in 2021, we donated some musical gear to the prisons in Colorado from our Instruments Into Prisons program, and they moved Territorial’s bandleader Tenneson to a different prison to run a music program. 🎸

We're talking about impact. We're talking about quality of life results.
So pat yourselves on the back. CONGRATULATIONS …THANK YOU 🥳💪🏾

With that gear that was brought into the prison, Tenneson recorded some songs completely on his own.

This is our next release, but we NEED to raise more funds so we can drop his second video. The first one’s in the can and it’s DOPE. We want y'all part of the moment so you take in his music with wonderful visuals. So we're asking for you all to pitch in towards the “P.I.C.” (Prison Industrial Complex) video so we can make it happen. 🤑🤑🤑

We love this community so much. We love how y'all appreciate the stories and really want to help impact these incarcerated artists, and we see real growth in our FREER family. A real need being filled with what we're doing here - all of us as a team. 💪🏾

Stand with us today and donate towards Tenneson's upcoming project.

Thank you.
