About Me

"Fred Odell crafts songs that come from the varied terrain of Southern living and the stark desert nights of California. They’re as home around the campfire as they are in a smoky honky-tonk. He writes with a soulful spirit and a lonely heart that brings to mind the influences of Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons and The Allman Brothers. From the pedal steel tone of classic country and the driving soul of Southern rock, this band knows how to create a sound that stands and delivers." -Tom Wegner, Twang Cafe/Epic Arts- Berkeley, CA
