If you’re here every week with us at Free At Noon, you already know how great this weekly concert series is. But maybe you don’t live close to Philly, or maybe you can’t get away at 12pm on a Friday (a bummer for sure, but can’t fault you there)… either way, we’d love for these FAN concerts to still be available to you. In that spirit, peruse five of our latest free concerts here and on YouTube, where all our video content can be found. We hope you enjoy.

Nathalie Joachim – Free at Noon (Full Performance)

“Armed with just her flute and backing tracks, Joachim’s vocals took the forefront of her performance. Singing in a mix of English and Haitian Creole, her songs wrapped heartfelt messages in layers of meanings and sounds, leaving space for captivating flute solos,” said Emma Zoe Polyak in her review of Joachim’s performance.

The Warhawks – Free at Noon (Full Performance)

XPN’s Emma Zoe Polyak nailed it in her review of The Warhawks, too: “Dancing around the stage, shredding guitars, throwing drumsticks, and falling to the floor, the New Jersey band brought their all to today’s Free At Noon, and from the crowd’s jumping and head banging, you could tell that they loved being there every bit as much as the band.”

Pep Rally – Free at Noon (Full Performance)

The review for this Free At Noon performance was just as “off the rails” as the concert itself: “The two-piece channeled the rough-round-the-edges meat-and-potatoes rock and roll of the late 20th Century — Cheap Trick, The Replacements, Foghat, Kiss, et cetera — as they sang songs about partying, doing drugs outside the club, and the plight of dreamers trying to get out of their small town. It was punchy, but also rather spacey at points (credit the vocoder effect employed for the single ‘Clubbing On The Moon’ but present throughout), making the vibe a retrofuturistic one, like the Dazed And Confused soundtrack launched into the cosmos.”

Jana Mila – Free at Noon (Full Performance)

“Her music takes on a range of influences, both new and old, balancing influences from the current indie-country movement with subtle callbacks to ‘70s country music,” said XPN’s Emma Zoe Polyak about Mila’s stellar FAN performance.

Cloud Cult – Free at Noon (Full Performance)

“Cloud Cult layered horns, strings, synths, piano, guitar and drums to create a sound caught somewhere between desperation and freedom. It’s surprising that their music hasn’t been used in an indie coming-of-age film score yet,” described XPN’s Maeve Zeleniak about the band’s August Free At Noon show.
