Produced by Alexander Johnson and managed by Charles Carlini, Mamma Freedom consists of Alex’s brother JV on vocals, Christopher Calcott on lead guitar, Richard Redfern on Keys, Gareth Bourne on bass, Dan Hudson on drums, a brass section of Robert Marsh and AJ Dawson. The band will be touring the USA and the UK throughout 2013-2014.
