When Rivers Meet are pleased to announce the release of their live album, The Flying Free Tour Live on 29th July 2022. The live album will be released on CD, DVD, vinyl, and digital. The CD and DVD will include a 12-page collectible booklet.

The live album was taken from recordings and footage from three concerts during WRM’s 17-date April and May 2022 headline UK tour.

“Our first-ever headline tour was amazing,” says WRM’s lead singer Grace Bond. “We wanted to capture some of the incredible moments. We've always enjoyed listened to and watching live recordings, and it's been a dream of ours to create our very own.”

The live album features Grace Bond (vocals, mandolin, fiddle) and Aaron Bond (vocals, guitar) accompanied by Roger Inniss (bass) and James Fox (drums, keys, backing vocals). Together, the four talented musicians created an exciting and powerful stage performance in front of thousands of concert goers across the UK.

The live album features songs taken from WRMs first two albums, We Fly Free and Saving Grace, plus songs from their two EPs, The Uprising, and Innocence of Youth.

The live album includes approximately sixty minutes of performance footage. The DVD edition includes bonus features of crowd interactions and reactions.

Grace and Aaron are something special.”
– The Rockpit

“Grace’s voice tonight is spectacular as she kills every song from My Babe
to Kissing the Sky while Aaron’s harmonies perfectly compliment her.”
– Rock N Load

“Aaron is one of those guitarists that jumps up onto a groove and
rides it over the heads of the audience like a freight train.”

• Glasgow Blues Players

“Authentic and personable with appealing personalities with quality songs and music, no wonder they win awards and are gaining good crowds.”
– CGCM Radio

“The whole band enjoys being on stage with smiles all around. Grace and
Aaron steal the show with not only their talent, but the chemistry
that the two share when performing together.”
– Rock N Load
