Bio
Free Lunch is a hip Athens, Ga based band searching for eager ears for good tunes. The band consists of 3 guys who have their eyes set on the same prize and share the same feelings and views on the architecture of songs and passion for music. Andrew Lastrapes is the ripping guitarist that is full of surprises swingin' from styles of rock & roll to funk to jazz. His guitar work is colorful, tasteful and will take you in many directions in his unique and creative world. A few of his influences are Kurt Rosenwinkel, Scott Henderson, Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz, and Jimmy Paige. Andrew is also a recent graduate of the Atlanta Institute of Music. Chill Bill Baker is heavy and dirty when it comes to holding down the bass for Free Lunch. Bill also covers many styles and will slap that funk till you can't take no mo'. He will always be sure to point you in the right direction as to where the groove is. Some of Bill's influences are Jaco Pastorius, Oteil Burbridge, Victor Wooten, Gary Willis, and John Pattitucci. Bill is enrolled in the Atlanta Institute of Music and will be graduatuing next year. Richard Chamberlain is the beating voice for the band. Splitting the mind into sections he holds the drums and lead vocals down. Rock and funk are the roots of inspiration for him but is not limited to. He directs the heartbeat and high energy into the music and will beat you up all night. His influences are Keith Carlock, Jeff Sipe, Mike Clark, Jose Pasillas, and John Bonham. Richard is aspiring to start classes at the Atlanta Institute of Music in January.
