I formed FreedomAndForgiven in 2005 after burning both my hands, and waiting for them to heal. I have been playing guitar since I was 5, and burning both my hands and having to take a break from playing really took a toll on me because music is a huge part of my life. So during the healing process I picked up some computer programs, and started producing electronic music to satisfy my music needs until my hands healed. I still produce some electronic music even though I am back to playing the guitar, and soon will begin to incorporate a lot more guitar into the electronica.
Yes. I play at a lot of clubs both in Missouri, and Illinios. Starting next year we will hopefully begin an out of state tour. I have had some good, and bad "special" moments when playing live. From getting to chill back stage with A Plea For Purging, opening for Wednesday 13's Gunfire 76 to having all the stage monitors go out, and my amp almost blow up on stage.
