FREEBO IS A GENUINE FOLK, rock & blues icon who, after over 40 years
of recording & touring with many of the great artists of our time
(Bonnie Raitt 10 years, CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr,
Dr. John, Neil Young, & many more) is regarded as one of the most
gifted singer-songwriters of today. A multi award winner & finalist in
numerous songwriting contests, FREEBO WAS ALSO RECOGNIZED AS THE 'BEST
FOLK ARTIST 2007' BY THE LOS ANGELES MUSIC AWARDS. He has appeared on
Saturday Night Live, The Muppet Show, The Midnight SPECIAL, and in
concert with the legendary Spinal Tap. FREEBO’s compassionate
concern for the world & people around him, as evidenced both in his
lyrics and his open stage banter, has helped him connect with
listeners worldwide. He will take an audience from insights about what
kind of positive mark we hope to leave on the world upon our own
passing with “Standing Ovation” to where you stand with your pets
and your partner with "She Loves My Dog More Than Me." A musical
evening with FREEBO WILL BE ASTUTE, insightful, clever, and truly
melodic. www.FREEBOMUSIC.com CATFISH HODGE HAS BEEN CALLED AN
“American folk blues hero” & has been a mainstay on the American
Blues music scene for decades! He has 24 albums to his credit,
comprised almost totally of original material. CATFISH GREW UP IN
DETROIT, sneaking into Motown Records Hitsville studio to catch the
Four Tops and the Supremes and grooving to R&B and Blues while his
contemporaries gravitated to the Beatles. He made an album of
children’s songs “Adventures at CATFISH POND”, which won the
NAPA Golden Award as best children’s music of 1996. His 1998 release
“Bare Necessities” finds him in a solo acoustic setting, with
lowdown funky blues & soulful ballads. His 1999 release “Twenty
Years” features performances from concerts & radio broadcast and
includes the only version now available of “Boogie Man Gonna Git
Ya”, as well as other rare gems. His 2002 release “Let’s Eat”
is a best of collection of his best-known food songs of which there
are many! In the late 1960’s he formed the CATFISH BAND AND LEFT
DETROIT TO NATIONAL PROMINENCE. In the 1970s CATFISH BECAME A REGULAR
OPENER FOR BONNIE RAITT AND LITTLE FEAT. He formed the Chicken Legs
Band in 1981 and was joined by Little Feat’s Paul Barrere, Richie
Hayward, Kenny Gradney & Sam Clayton. Their final tour hit 21 cities
and sold out every one. In the 1980s CATFISH HEADED TO CALIFORNIA
WHERE HE & Paul Barrere formed the Bluesbusters. They recorded 2
albums for Landslide Records and toured for many years, until Little
Feat was reformed in the late 1980’s. In the 1990s CATFISH FOUNDED
THE HILLBILLY FUNK ALLSTARS WITH T LAVITZ, Richie Hayward, Kenny
Gradney & Vassar Clements. Now calling Chicago home, CATFISH CONTINUES
TO PLAY SOLO ACOUSTIC AND GIGS WITH HIS ELECTRIC BAND, at festivals
around the globe. After 35 years on the road he is still electrifying
music fans with his powerful and spiritual style of original music!
