Come on down to McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica on Saturday, June 7th to see Freedy play backed up by L.A. country-rock rebels Jackshit (www.jackshittheband.com). It's going to be a helluva fun gig, so don't miss it.

Then, from June 12-14th, Freedy willl back up in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for the 4th Annual Steel Bridge Songfest. Pat MacDonald and crew are making it all happen again to preserve the threatened steel drawbridge spanning Sturgeon Bay. Jackson Browne will be back, plus Jane Weidlin, Eric McFadden, Tony Brown, and the list goes on... There's no better place to be in June than Door County, Wisconsin.

Freedy is currently working on his next release, Rain on the City.
He's recording with Richard McLaurin at the House of David in Nashville, with Pete Abbott playing drums and David Santos on bass. We're looking at a Fall '08 release.

The covers record, My Favorite Waste of Time, is out on Singing Magnet Records and is available on this site for $14 (plus shipping). Review copies can be requested at freedyreviewcopy@yahoo.com.

It's a rockin' sprint through ten classic love and love-esque songs by Marshall Crenshaw, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Matthew Sweet, and other lords of pop. It was recorded in Nashville with bassist Bob Babbitt, drummer Ed Greene, and a whole van-load of guest musicians.
