Free Nationals - Beauty & Essex ft. Daniel Caesar & Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Anyone who’s followed Anderson .Paak’s rise over the past four years will already be well acquainted with his dexterous live band the Free Nationals. Like their charismatic frontman, the four core band members – Kelsey Gonzalez (bass), Ron “T. Nava” Avant (keys), Callum Connor (drums) and José Rios (guitar) – grafted for nearly a decade (even wedding gigs weren’t beyond them) before the right opportunity finally presented itself.

.Paak’s breakthrough solo album ‘Malibu’ in 2016 was just that opportunity, catapulting its creator to fame and handing the Free Nationals the chance to combine forces and join their cohort ascent onto bigger and better stages across the globe.
