I eagerly anticipate FJ shows in my area and make plans/buy tickets the first chance I get. Now, I am heading to NYC for Xmas-NYE, and he’ll be performing in my hometown (Lawrence, KS, yes I lived across the street when he lived on Tennessee Street) while I’m gone.
Any plans to come down south of the border? Florida? Georgia?
i….snifff… miss you.
Repeating my plea on FaceBook to do a show in New Orleans or the Miss. Gulf Coast – since it seems the best acts play the Gulf Coast strip and skip over New Orleans to head to Houston.
Thanks,
Pat
I too used to live in Lawrence and would love to catch Freedy at the Bottleneck. Lawrence is a great little town. I’m now in the Madison, WI area, another place I know is near and dear to Mr. Johnston’s heart. I’m hoping he’ll play a show or two in Madtown again soon since I missed him the last time around. Can’t wait to hear your new release, Freedy!
Waaaah! City Winery is the same night that I have front-row tix to see the Swell Season at Radio City
Please come and see us in the San Francisco Bay Area!
Seconded; please come back to San Francisco. Bring the band if you can.
Come to Orlando…you have serious fans here.
Hello,
I have loved your music since I was a little girl, I am 25 now and still think you are among the greats your music always soothes my soul, It would be wonderful if you would play in Iowa City,Ia maybe at the Yatch club or the Mill, ? Please let me know as it would be such a wonderful memory to get to see you after all these years.
thanks
Thanks for playing IOTA last Sunday night, Freedy, even if you didn’t play anything from Quadrophenia. It was great to hear “While I Wait for You” once again.
We are counting on your returning to metropolitan Washington in support of your upcoming release.
Please come back to Seattle! Last saw you here what – 5, 6 years ago?
Cheers
Coming to Seattle any time soon??
Please come East Freedy. A show in Delaware is long overdue. We miss you! Scott
Come to Denver – we’re a very welcoming people here.
We would love to see you out here in LA! The new songs sound fantastic!
Hoping you can make it to L.A. soon. We need you.
Ditto for me! Los Angeles does need you!
As the song says….”Please Come to Boston”!! We love you here!
Here’s another plea from Delaware for you to come back and play here, Freedy. The Small Wonder state loves and appreciates you!
Freedy — you know ATLANTA is calling your name! I’ve seen you each time you’ve been here, but it’s been a long time… head south, man! Can’t wait to buy the new album today at my local record store…
Cheers from Georgia!
Hi Freedy
Can you hear California calling you? We are awaiting your return. Come soon. The new album sounds fantastic!
All the best to you in 2010
Steven
Cant wait for your arrival in Philadelphia
Denver please?
Hey Freedy…I was waiting for you at that Passim’s show you blew off several years ago, so I think you owe it to me personally to come back to Boston and play this new release…please?
Hello Freedy,
I saw you (first and only time) about 9 years ago at the Magic Bag in Ferndale, MI-great show! Hope to see you again here in MI!
You always have a home at McCabe’s. Come play for us in LA. Would love to see you at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood!
Just saw your show tonite in Philly – you guys really rocked out! Great performance, great new album, and great to meet you after the show. All the best Freedy…
Caught your show in Philly on Feb 18 – you guys really rocked out! Great show, great new album, and great meeting you after the concert. All the best Freedy…
I am sure no one is reading these, but freedy…you have to come to Toronto/within 5 hours driving distance of Toronto so I can see you live…
Peace brotha
was listening to some of your old stuff tonight, including ‘while i wait for you’ about 10 times in a row. so beautiful. & now i see you’ve got a new album & you’ll be playing in the n.e. next month. look forward to both. glad you’re back!
Looking forward to your Pittsburgh show. I will drive 4 hours from Buffalo with my boyfriend to see you live for the first time. He used to be on Bar None Records too (he’s the 10,000 Maniacs drummer) and I’m a singer/songwriter. We know it’s impossible, but we would so love to have coffee with you in a “perfect world.”
Your music has influenced my own, and we listen to you regularly. You’re my favorite! Best wishes, and we will see you at Club Cafe. 
Nice to see another Iota show next month! I’ll drive up from Richmond to see Freedy for the first time. Can’t wait!
Whoo Hoo! Just got the word on the San Francisco show! Got my tickets ordered already. Will be great to see you back here.
Long time fan, since Can You Fly. Like Jim who posted in January, I was also at the Club Passim show a few years ago that you never showed up for (I think we were told it was car issues). There’s a rumor you’ll be coming up to our area in June – is that true? In any event, I’m looking forward to the new CD, and hope all is well.
Get down to Charleston, SC. You can take a vacation and do some shows. I’ll show up for sure.
Absolutely magical at Club Cafe last night! Breathtaking to meet you in person after listening for so long
. Best wishes.
PS: PLEASE come to Buffalo. Best venue would be the Village Meeting House (Buffalo Friends of Folk Music). I would open for you for free (I’ve opened for everyone from Roger McGuinn and Richie Havens to Collective Soul and The Gin Blossoms) and I would have every living soul I know come to the show. People love you here–they’ll come! xoxoxoxoxo You’re my all-time favorite.
“Fred”, had a ton of fun toolin’ around Portland after the show. You guys are fun. Mi casa es su casa next time you are in town.
Thanks for letting me do the intro. You are an American treasure.
Mark
ship sheet freedysan! You came here to SF last week and I was too busy getting settled in at the new digs and missed ya. my bad… when ya comin’ back? how about a gig for us two dollar a bottle wine snobs up here in Santa Rosa?
Any chance you’ll ever come to Lafayette? And failing that, maybe New Orleans?
The gumbo and etouffe will be on me!
The latest album is outta sight, by the way.
Of course they all are.
Freedy,
Thank you so much for the lengthy and awesome set at the Rosebud this weekend. Keep on rockin!
Josh
You definately need to come to Syracuse in Upstate New York. Look forward to seeing you.
Freedy,
My grandbaby goes insane to “Don’t fall in love with a lonely girl” If this were a perfect world, you would be coming to the Downingtown, Pa, area sometime soon. Sell the farm , buy it back. Balsey, but brilliant.
Russell
You’re going to be so close to MN in mid-September (okay, maybe only kinda close, but still…), any chance you’ll be popping in?
