Alice Howe and Freebo Band

ALICE HOWE AND FREEBO PRESENT A UNIQUE STUDY IN CONTRASTS, bringing together a rising voice in Americana music and a venerable rock, folk, and blues icon. Each a compelling performer in their own right, they both lead and support each other in their well-crafted songs with flawless harmonies and tasteful instrumentation. They have worked as creative collaborators in the studio and on stage since 2017. FREEBO WEAVES HIS UNIQUE FRETLESS BASS STYLINGS INTO ALICE’s superb vocals for a presentation with undeniable chemistry.To hear ALICE HOWE SING IS TO BE ENRAPTURED BY THE NATURAL, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her.On Circumstance, her second and latest album, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter guitarist displays her vocal prowess and introspective writing in abundance, mining both her heart and her musical tastes for a deep, personal journey across an Americana soundscape dotted with blues, folk, country, soul and rock. Recorded in two sessions at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Etta James and Wilson Pickett once shook the walls, the record channels their spirits with 11 stirring tracks that pull no punches diving into the vagaries of the heart and her own personal journey. As an old soul inside a 30-something millennial, ALICE PUTS HER STAMP ON AMERICANA’s venerable strands with 10 standout originals evoking both the classic singer-songwriters and the seminal music that once filled airwaves, roadhouses and juke joints.FREEBO IS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS DECADE OF TOURING AND RECORDING WITH BONNIE RAITT, and has distinguished himself as one of the great bassists of our time, playing on records with CSN, Maria Muldaur, John Mayall, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, and Neil Young as well as appearing on Saturday Night Live, The Midnight Special, The Muppet Show, and in concert with the legendary Spinal Tap. Not willing to simply rest on those achievements, FREEBO DELVED MORE DEEPLY INTO HIS CREATIVITY AND HAS BECOME A HIGHLY REGARDED SINGER/songwriter, now working on his 6th full-length solo CD. A multi award winner and finalist in numerous songwriting contests, FREEBO’s music reflects his compassionate concern for the world and people around him, and his lyrics and open stage banter have helped him connect with listeners worldwide. A live musical experience with FREEBO IS ASTUTE, insightful, clever, and truly melodic.https://www.alicehowe.comhttps//www.freebomusic.com [https://www.alicehowe.comhttps://www.freebomusic.com]
