Brandon Freeman and Jonathan Napoles had been friends for a long time before they ever played a lick of music together and for good reason. The two are quite the unlikely duo. Freeman is an RnB and rock singer while Napoles played metal for over a decade. Nonetheless, fate would eventually bring the two musicians together as the only two full-time musicians in their circle of friends. So one day the two set up all the equipment they had at their disposal and Cloudship was born.
With their unique and quirky instrumentation and Folk/Blues driven sound, Cloudship is sure to make quite a splash. Mayday now available on iTunes and CdBaby as well as debut EP entitled Sail to Heaven.
