Don Sprik & Freewheelin Releases New Single “Reunion Jam”
Lake city, MI — Playing together again after 40 years, the band’s nostalgic new hit embraces the joy of getting together with friends after time apart.
Don Sprik & Freewheelin is excited to release their new hit “Reunion Jam”.
“If you’ve ever reconnected with an old friend after years apart and picked up right where you left off, I think you’ll find that this song hits home,” Don Sprik says of the new single.
While every song the band has released has been special in its own way, this one is especially close to their hearts. The band itself has a long history that began about 40 years ago with its 5 members playing together in different lineups; however, as is often the case, life happens and each went their own way. Fast forward to 2020 – Don Sprik (lead vocals and guitar) and Jimmy Warren (lead guitar) decided it was time to get the band back together. Their old friend Jon Jarecki joined them to rock the bass, Al Arkestyn came back to keep the band on beat with drums, and Jim Markle brings it all together on keyboard – with everyone filling in vocals as well.
“Call it a 40-year itch. Don and I started talking music again and we have a way of building each other up with our passion for music,” says Warren. “Right away, we started talking about the Freewheelin days, did some searching, and found Jon and Jim open to the idea. I had played with Al briefly at Don’s about a decade ago and really respected his talent (the guy’s a machine). I couldn’t be more excited!”
Though the band has only been back together for a little over a year, they are already making waves. They’ve been featured on FM airplay across Europe and the United States and have been on talk shows throughout the United States. Their recent hit “You’re the One” had over 57K views on YouTube, and this new hit was mastered by Grammy award-winning Adam Ayan at Gateway Mastering.
“What makes us unique is our ability to interact with one another while we are in the creating process,” says Sprik. “Each musician puts their own individual touch on their part – no one is telling the others how to play. That’s how ‘freewheelin’ kind of came about.”
Some of Don Sprik & Freewheelin’s biggest fans include lovers of Classic Rock, who feel a wave of nostalgia listening to their catchy tunes. Just as their previous hits have, “Reunion Jam” is sure to have fans moving to its beat in no time – and maybe even calling up an old friend for a beer or coffee.
