About Me

Freebo's success in rock'nroll has been well documented over the years. From bass player/band member with Bonnie Raitt for a decade to countless studio sessions and tours with artists ranging from John Mayall, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Maria Muldaur and Ringo Starr, to T.V. appearances on "Saturday Night Live," "Midnight Special," and "Muppets Tonight," as well as tuba performances with Dr. John and the legendary Spinal Tap, Freebo has achieved status and respect in a creative and highly competitive field.
Not satisfied with simply resting on his laurels as a top sideman, Freebo has continued to push his creative envelope, and now has evolved into an acclaimed singer/songwriter, with three well received solo CDs to his credit, 1999's "The End Of The Beginning," 2002's "Dog People" (songs about the human/canine connection), and his new CD, "Before The Separation."
Released in October 2005, Freebo's latest shows his complete arrival and comfort as a singer/songwriter, with thoughtful and insightful lyrics sung with soul and passion, framed by his acoustic guitar and signature fretless bass, and supported by tasty drums, electric guitar, and harmonica, played by some of rock music's finest musicians.
Freebo's songs span styles from folk, blues, and country to R&B, reggae, and rock 'n' roll, and incorporate themes of love, struggle, triumph, peace, and the journey of life. His live performances, mainly on acoustic guitar, take you on a musical and lyrical ride. Freebo creates an intimate unity with his audience and will likely leave you with a tear in your eye, but with a smile on your face.

The End Of The Beginning

Dog People

Before The Separation

Sounds Like: "The veteran fretless bassist, who has been a sideman for everyone from Bonnie Raitt and John Mayall to Crosby, Stills & Nash, evolves into a powerful voice of social consciousness on his third outing as a singer/songwriter. Tapping into the zeitgeist of post-millennial America, Freebo draws on his love of blues, rock, soul and the spirit of classic folk music to create a provocative and haunting landscape which beautifully balances biting criticism, strong patriotism and a sense of whimsical optimism." -- Jonathan Widran, Music Connection, Los Angeles

Before The Separation, Freebos newest and most musically complete recording was released in late 2005. The overall texture of Before The Separation is very soulful, introspective, heartfelt, and thoughtful. Listening to the lyrics, one can almost feel the itch that Freebo needed to scratch as he penned those songs. The CD is passionately crafted and enthusiastically sung, and Freebo enlisted the talents of many old friends in its recording. Before The Separation deftly transports the listener into the eye of a hurricane to quietly observe, while Freebo calmly describes the spiritual storm that rages on all sides. Its really quite an experience, and almost exactly the feel that one would imagine a Freebo CD to convey." -- Bill Thames, Shake Magazine, Nashville
